Summary

Mystery thriller directed by Brian De Palma, starring Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise. Corrupt Atlantic City detective Rick Santoro witnesses a political assassination while attending a boxing match at a local casino. Amid the ensuing chaos, Santoro's investigation unravels a conspiratorial web that could involve the murdered man's bodyguard, a mysterious blonde and perhaps even the fighters themselves.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Alan Jones

The US Secretary of Defense is assassinated in full view of a huge audience gathered in an Atlantic City casino for a boxing championship. Can supercharged detective Nicolas Cage use his own recollections and those of key witnesses to find out whodunnit and unravel an ever-widening conspiracy? Although a stunning visual tour de force by director Brian De Palma (a virtuoso opening sequence, split screens, acrobatic cameras, the replaying of interconnected events from different angles and perspectives), this jigsaw murder mystery lacks suspense and disappoints as a thriller, with the expected slam-bang finale never materialising. Die-hard De Palma fanatics will love it, but others may think it's over-directed and rather pointless.
