The Independent Recommends: Film
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NOBODY DOES cheap machismo better than Nicolas Cage and in Snake Eyes (left) he shoulders into the brown, shiny jacket-from-hell to play corrupt cop Rick Santoro. Caught up in a deadly political conspiracy, Santoro surprises everyone by finding some moral fibre. Like its lead character, Snake Eyes is big and flashy, but cold around the heart. Brian de Palma executes the plot with technical brilliance and the film is worth seeing for his breathtaking opening shot alone.

Woody Allen provides the voice for "Z", a neurotic worker-ant and "middle child in a family of 500", in Antz, the droll computer animation from Dreamworks. Trapped in a totalitarian state, Z makes a break for freedom with Princess Bala, dodging fly swats, raindrops and giant trainers to make it to Insectopia. Political popcorn with plenty of eye-poppingly surreal set-pieces.
