I watched a hell of a double feature yesterday; Snake Eyes and Sudden Death.
Snake Eyes is legit a great thriller with some amazing shots from De Palma. Plus Cage is at his best in this. During a heavy weight championship boxing match in Atlantic City the US Secretary of Defense is assassinated and a crooked cop (played by Cage) unravels the conspiracy.
Sudden Death is one of the better Die Hard rip offs from the 90s, it's pretty ridiculous but it's a lot of fun. Some terrorists break into the owners box and hold the vice president hostage during Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. Van Damme had a great run of action films in the 90s. Trivia time, how many former Flames are mentioned in Sudden Death.
