Summary: a great movie...
Review: Everything on this video is AMAZING, the sound, picture, acting, plot, everything. I saw it for the first time two years ago, off a rental, and couldn't find it again, I bought it off amazon and I cant stop watching it, the first time I saw it, I dont even remember moving, or saying a word to my brother, just sitting there. This movie will have you on the edge of your sit because YOU WILL NEVER figure out who did it.....until the end..you HAVE to see this movie.

Summary: You KNOW you didn't predict the ending
Review: A wonderful movie. Byrne and Spacey are great actors, but it's really the plot that carries this movie. For the first time in history, The Usual Suspects allows the words "Stephen Baldwin" and "fantastic movie" to be used in the same sentence.

Summary: Better the second time around
Review: This is a movie that should be in everyone's video library. So what if you know the ending! The convoluted plot that leads up to the big finish can be watched over and over again because you're bound to notice something you missed the time before. This movie turned me on to Kevin Spacey. I bought the video to lend to friends who never saw the movie before. Everybody likes it.

Summary: Just wonderful
Review: Like another reviewer below, I had to go and read the one-star reviews and try to fathom the damage these folks have sustained prior to watching the film. I count these rather faint strikes being marked against a fantastic film:1. "No 5.1 sound!" Oh boo hoo! It also did not have Leonardo di Caprio If fancy sound is why you would buy this, you're clearly not getting the point. Go buy Titanic and The Matrix. 2. "I knew what was coming" yeah, right! :) If that's so, why do we see you at the convenience store buying lottery tickets every danged day? Sadly, too many people have already commented on "the twist", which only excites speculation amongst those who have not seen it and will lead to premonition in a sad number of cases. But what I love about this film is the CHILL I get (I've seen this maybe 6 times over the years) each time when the characters come to realize the situation for what it is. This scene makes my neck hairs stand on end, and it is one entirely devoid of action. THAT is the sort of depth of awe this film elicits from me, and (judging from the stars) is why to get the film. It's just sad that the buzz that there is a twist to this film may ruin it for some. Give it a try.

Summary: This is a really cool film.
Review: I think the title says it all really! Kevin Spacey is fantastic, my new favourite actor, and the rest of the cast are also very good. Great direction and use of soundtrack - possibly the best film I have ever seen. The ending? You know you wanted it.

Summary: Not Worth the Effort
Review: Hmmmmm, this movie is so bad that I'm not sure where to start. Surprise ending? Right! I guess all the people who are surprised at the ending don't read much. I think that all of the other reviewers that give this movie high ratings are trying to cover up the fact they are embarassed to admit that they didn't see it coming. The acting is pretty much bottom of the barrel. What's with the guy with the marbles in his mouth? I need subtitles to figure out what he's saying? Is he speaking English? Cinematography, poor, casting, poor, plot, stinks, too long, too boring, no surprise at the end. Other than that, it should be nominated for the Raspberry Award.

Summary: Worst DVD I own
Review: As much as I love the movie, the DVD disappoints. No 5.1 Audio, no English subtitles and no anamorphic widescreen. Three things I have come to expect from a DVD release. Let this be a lesson to me to pre-order a DVD w/out checking the technical specs here. Peter

Summary: Unique crime film with top-notch dialogue and atmosphere.
Review: There's not much left to say in praise of this film -- Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Spacey are sublime, Pete Postlethwaite a deliciously eloquent villain, Christopher McQuarrie's script an energetic, imaginative maze of twists and conflicts, and Bryan Singer's direction rock-steady, making this one of the most stylish films of the '90s but still packing it with enough substance and character to back up the flair. It was nice to see a crime film that didn't ape Pulp Fiction, instead carving out its own niche as a cerebral, eloquent film about betrayal, deception, fear, redemption (or the impossibility of redemption), and identity. One of the grandest tricks in The Usual Suspects is to create a thoroughly winning hero, yet forcing you to applaud the ingenuity of the victorious villains at the end. A high point in '90s cinema.

Summary: Kevin Spacey Delivers!
Review: This is the best Kevin Spacey movie yet. This movie will keep you rivited. It slows down a little in the middle, but it has the best ending of any movie yet. If this is the only movie you buy, you won't be disappointed.
