There are bloody bills in the eyes of a snake

Webster 2022-07-29 10:55:59

The storm hit Atlantic City

A choice lies in front of Rick

Death with dignity

Still live without conscience

He was originally a police gangster

Have a wife and a lover

Accept some small bribes

The investigation of this case is only for profit

No one believes that he is a man who insists on justice

But when he knows things he shouldn't know

He did the right thing

His officer brother is awe-inspiring

But also went to the other extreme

in my eyes

He seems to have done nothing wrong

He wanted to give an explanation to his dead comrades

Just used extreme methods

There are many long shots in the film

The opening section where Rick bet that he had no money to accept bribes

Left a deep impression on me

The pace of the story is very fast, the narrative feels a little worse

If you slow down

Let the narrative slow down and deepen the contradiction

Let Rick slowly make a decision step by step

I will give my five stars

The 1998 movie was made so much

Also great

There are bloody bills in the eyes of a snake

Snake Eyes quotes

  • Commander Kevin Dunne: Don't talk to me about soldiers. What do you know about being a good soldier, the guy who finds an envelope full of cash in a squad car every Friday? What do you think I've been doing for the last ten years? Strutting on the boardwalk and picking up hookers? When the Renville took that Iraqi missile hit below decks, do you know what happened? A hole ripped open in the bulkhead, and the sea flooded in. We had 60 seconds to maintain watertight integrity. I had to go below and give the order to dog the hatches. That meant that 28 men that were still in the main engine space were trapped. You ever listen to a man drowning? They don't die quietly.

    Rick Santoro: Oh, what the hell. At least I got to be on TV.
