Palma[edit]

Brian De Palma for most of the time does a dazzling job of directing this crime thriller. It has all his usual visual acrobatics. I was hooked to this film until I got to the end. De Palma for me blew what should have been a nailbiting conclusion. The ending was extremely anti-climatic and a downright downer. I expected an exciting action set-piece to finish the film. One suspects there was an alternative ending that was left on the cutting room floor. On the boardwalk Cage's character refer's to how he got out of the tunnel filled with water. There was no such ending, leading me to assume there's an alternative ending to this film that would have been more hearthumping then what we got. It's ashame because this film is extremely good for most of it's running time. This is Brian DE Palma meets Hitchcock meets Kurasawa's Rashamon. HARRY GEORGATOS

An ending was originally shot (by ILM) of a tidal wave sweeping through the casino, but De Palma thought it was too much like a disaster movie and changed it.˜˜˜˜

Use of word "trademark"[edit]

The first sentence reads: featuring his trademark use of long tracking shots and split screens. Does he really have a trademark on the technique? Otherwise it would be better to use another word. "Habitual", maybe -- or "customary" or "perpetual" etc. --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 16:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
