Excellent, Without a doubt!!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

(ATTENTION! THIS REVIEW IS LONG)Bryan Singer really did it with this one. 'The Usual Suspects' may just be... the best crime film I have ever seen till this day.The actors were outstanding. It's like while watching the film, you always think that the character that they play is almost real. When I watched Kevin Spacey's performance, I nearly thought Verbal Kint was a real person. Same goes for the other actors, especially Chazz Palminteri (Kujan), Stephen Baldwin (McManus) and Kevin Pollak (Hockney). Honorable mention to Benicio Del Toro (Fenster) as well.For the people behind the scenes, focusing on Singer, Christopher McQuarrie (writer) and John Ottman (editor, composer), they all made the film into what I call, a near-perfect movie that will live longer than I think.Singer directed the film as if he had years of experience (when this is just his 2nd film after Public Access), and that's a huge compliment. Ottman edited the film with really amazing touches and him composing the film's theme as well as the entire soundtrack? He's gonna be really huge soon, as the theme still sticks into my head until this moment.Now, let's talk about McQuarrie. He was the one who came up with the whole concept of the movie, starting from just a visualization of five men in a lineup. To make this outstanding film from just that, McQuarrie's super talented when it comes to scripts and screenplays. And the ability to direct too, just like how he did in MI: Fallout recently.Lastly, the story. Super amazing, super thrilling and super twisty. Spoilers are warned. I have no clue that Kint (Spacey) was Keyser Söze. When Kujan tells us that Keaton was, already in my mind this is such a huge twist, but still questions come up: who really is Redfoot, Kobayashi and others beside what Kint just told? I thought usually, when the twist is revealed, it signifies the end of the film. But oh boy was I wrong. It was actually near the end, but to know that Kint made up the whole story as he talked, from words and phrases from Kujan's board, that was super crazy. He spontaneously made up the entire thing! When that came, I was super mind-blown and can't really accept that Kint was Söze all along. Now ladies and gentlemen, that's a twist. Huge applause to McQuarrie.That's it from me. Now by the end of this review, I think most of you reading this have watched the film as I put a spoiler warning before. True or false, will The Usual Suspects live?I think it will. Very much.

This movie was released a long ago but the viewers who are born in the late 90's may find the plot of the story obvious, I personally after seeing so many suspense movies knew from the first sight of kevin spacey in the movie that he's not the innocent, showing him as a cripple and portraying him as an innocent man would really give him away, but I have no other complains from this movie as it is well executed with great acting from all the actors. If I liked something in the movie it would be how kevin spacey used the information in the investigation room to build up his own story,that's rather smart for a cripple.

I've seen a lot of movies. Let's start with this.I gave it only a 6 as I wasn't surprised at all.
When you are watching a movie where they want you to guess who's it, you know that already it is someone who's on the screen. A main character. When I was targeted first who's is Kaiser I was about 80% sure it is Kevin. As the movie progressed I was even more sure about it.
Then it turned out it was Kevin.
So it was a huge and very big disappointment for me.. It is on the list of "the biggest twists" and I was expecting a twist but it didn't come. It was not twisted at all.
Beside that it was a kinda boring movie. I was waiting only for the promised twisted ending.. The story was basicly nothing, it was built up for the twist. The acting was ok. Didn't like the cinematography and the editing. The music was sometimes good tho. Does not deserve more than 6.
The most overrated movie I've seen so far.

One of the best "whodunnit" type crime movies. A good cast of interesting characters, good dialogue and great performances. With definitely a GREAT mystery and an even GREATER villain!
