I wasn't too excited about seeing Bringing Out the Dead and Snake Eyes since I was only interested in getting a copy of Face/Off. Well, Face/Off turned out to be less interesting after so many years even though I rewatched it several times when it first came out on VHS. Bringing Out the Dead was a pleasant surprise and was an impressive example of Martin Scorsese's skill and talent. Maybe you have to be a true NYer like the director to make a movie like this that actually FEELS like New York. I was watching an episode of CSI:NY and something felt off even though they used NY locations. Bringing Out The Dead is more than location authenticity though. It really captures malaise and the burden of working poor in Manhattan. It's uniquely shot and the random encounters with strangers in their own world are similar to the style of After Hours but this story is much different and even though his character is overworked, Nicolas Cage's face looks remarkable in this movie. Snake Eyes was the best of the three movies in this triple pack. It's perfect storytelling with not too much thrown into the 90 minutes but what is there is controlled and never excessive. It's a really good twisty movie. I recommend getting this triple pack.

These Are awesome movies. i enjoyed them very much. i recommend this triple pack to everyone. can't get any better than that

This was the perfect buy for me becuase I had already seen both "Face Off" and "Snake Eyes", and I was willing to take a chance for yet another Nicolas Cage film that was nicely included in the price.

But maybe I'm more of an action film kinda guy after all, because even though I somehow managed to get all the way through "Cast Away" (the film with Tom Hanks stuck on some island somewhere) I couldn't make it all the way through the third film in this Triple pack, "Bringing Out the Dead". Perhaps too many video games in my youth have shrunken my attention span...

With that in mind, I'd still give this Triple Feature pack 5 out of 5 stars becuase I was able to get 2 great action films starring Nicolas Cage for under $6!

prior to this purchase i was simply looking for the title Bringing Out The Dead. then i came across this triple feature package. all movies are pretty slim as far as extra features are concerned. however these are 3 strong movies. usually with these triple feature things there is one good movie and two bad ones. so i recomend this purchase only if you don't have any of the titles. nicholas cage in three movies by three of hollywoods best directors. well maybe one of the best directors and 2 that use to be in that consideration. Bringing out the dead is in my opinion the most underated Martin Scorsese picture ill give it 4/5. the other two are good movies but just not as good they get 3/5 starts respectively.
