Cast and Crew of Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes

"Snake Eyes" follows shady homicide cop Rick Santoro, played by Nicolas Cage, who witnesses a murder during a boxing match. Alongside his lifelong friend, Naval intelligence agent Kevin Dunne (Gary Sinise), Santoro dives into a conspiracy that gradually reveals deeper and more shocking secrets. As the duo unravels the mystery, Santoro confronts truths that challenge even his cynical outlook.

Trivia:
1. Director Brian De Palma used long, continuous takes to build tension during the boxing match scene, notably the opening sequence which is celebrated for its masterful single-shot style.
2. Nicolas Cage reportedly stayed in character off-camera during filming to immerse himself fully into the role of the morally ambiguous detective.
3. The movie features a clever use of sound design, mixing crowd noise with unsettling silence to heighten suspense during critical scenes.
