There are several deleted scenes, as well as two alternate endings. The endings came about as a result of testing, and this film went through a good deal of testing. I don't know if that amount of testing it par for the course in Hollywood, but I suspect it isn't considering the amount of crap they release. There are storyboards and an interesting scene breakout where you can listen to one particular car scene in a tunnel with just the dialogue, sound effects, or music or a mixture of 2 or three. There are also the usual cast and crew biographies, production notes and theatrical trailers. It's a pretty good movie, and it's a steal at such a low price.

I've seen 'Snake Eyes' before, but I had pretty much forgotten all about it. Brian De Palma, the director has had a mixed bag of results over his career. He can be really good sometimes — 'The Untouchables', 'Mission: Impossible', 'Carrie', 'Blow Out', 'Scarface' — and really bad — 'Body Double', 'Bonfire of The Vanities', 'Raising Cain', 'Casualties of War'. 'Snake Eyes' falls somewhere in between.

'Snake Eyes' takes place in only a few hours (save for the epilogue) , and stars Nicholas Cage as Atlantic City detective Rick Santoro, a dirty cop in a dirty town. He's happy because a buddy of his, Gary Sinise is in town protecting the Secretary of Defense and got Rick some front row seats for a heavyweight title bout. The Secretary is assassinated, and a conspiracy unfolds as Santoro tries to get to the bottom of it.

The visual aspects of this film are just amazing, especially in the first 20 minutes which takes place in long steadicam shot. In that time span, all the characters are introduced and the murder takes place. Unfortunately the movie starts to go downhill from there. The main problem is that the plot and antagonists are revealed much too quickly, and once that happens the film really has nowhere to go. The suspense is gone and the ending feels somewhat contrived.

However, it isn't all that bad, and you can purchase it for what it would cost to rent.
