Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/environmental/shooting/cutting/terrorism/animal cruelty/torture/breaking/suicide/medical

You have Snake Eyes: basically; we have Detective Rick Santoro [Nicholas Cage:] he is a very crooked detective that is right in the middle of this situation when it goes down; as this boxing match is taking place in this location, there is this terrorist act, so he/us the viewers are now investigating this crime scene/location.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 98 minutes film is well structured; as it comes from the outlay of seeing things from different perspectives in this film, the only thing I didn't like about this framework which this film is based on is; from time to time there is this loud and dramatic background music, but the problem is it really doesn't fit smoothly with what is happening on screen at that time; it is best described as trying too hard to create this atmosphere, which feels out of place and when you hear it; you will notice it.

Action/Art/Comedy; Jose Pacifico Ruiz [Adam C. Flores:] Contender for this championship vs. Champion Lincoln Tyler  [Stan Shaw:] he is withholding a secret as things don't seem to be kosher as we see some punches being thrown and seeing things from different perspectives and at one point some real bad acting as it relates to this situation

character developments and performances; they are good character types of what they are meant to be, with performances to define these character types and to give them more substance and well-roundedness.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; if you haven't seen it either before or for years it is well worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of Nicholas Cage, there is also an ongoing extra scene throughout the closing credits. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; such as 1 Winner Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 1999 Blockbuster Entertainment Awards Favorite Actor – Suspense Nicolas Cage and 4 Nominees that includes from the same award ceremony/event Favorite Supporting Actor - Suspense Gary Sinise [as Commander Kevin Dunne; a long-term friend of Detective Santoro and dealing with this ongoing situation also] and Favorite Supporting Actress - Suspense Carla Gugino [as Julia Costello:] is here at this night of boxing for a secret meeting.
