Snake Eyes is a crime thriller directed by Brian DePalma, and featuring many of his trademark use of long tracking shots and split screens. Released in 1998, the film was written by David Koepp and Brian DePalma, and rated R when it was released to theaters on August 7th of 1998, at the height of the summer movie season. The film, which cost an estimated $73 million to produce, only returned $55 million, and continued DePalma's slide in commercial bankability. The film was also panned by most critics.
