Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Definitely one of the best movies of all time.
Once again, Kevin Spacey (Se7en, American Beauty) delivers a performance deserving of Academy Awards... and the ending will leave you gaping unbelievingly at the screen on your first viewing and simply NEEDING to watch the whole thing again.

Summary: WHAT AN ENDING!!!!!!!
Review: this film is so good i had to watch it all over again straight after finishing it (this may have something to do with it also being fairly confusing..). the ending of his film sends hivers down my spine everytime and for those wh have seen it they will know what i mean. kevin spacey made hs big breakthrough in this film and he s now recognised as the best actor of the 90s. gabriel byrne and ben del toro are also excellent. if you like crime thrillers with a whodunnit thrown in, this is A MUST SEE...

Summary: Stunning Performances and Great Mystery
Review: This is a twist on the WhoDunIt plot with powerful performances by everyone but Spacey in particular. I love this movie and watch it over and over even though I know the plot and the ending. If you like good mysteries or Spacey movies, definetely get this movie.

Summary: Ladies, give this one a chance!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out on VHS about six years ago. I wasn't particularly interested in watching a "guy movie"...gangsters, shooting, drug deals, whatever...but my boyfriend at the time wanted to see it. I watched the first hour or so but eventually dozed off. I woke up in time to see the unexpected ending, a literal jaw-dropping surprise. Needless to say, I later watched the entire movie again (and again, and again). It remains near the top of my list of all-time favorite movies.

Summary: Who is this Imbecile!
Review: (...)Watching the faux plot unfold and realizing that Verbal uses as much truth as lies and misdirection to spin his tale is integral to the film and realizing "...its greatness..". The movie works not because of a borrowed "whodunnit" plot or "twist" ending but because of the fine scripting, direction and acting that came together to churn out a fantastic product. (...)Watch this movie to see great performances and excellent direction. The plot will keep you interested and the subtleties of facial expressions the characters provide will lead you through the truths of the story just as they will allow you to realize where you are being lead astray. It is a fantastic movie and even those of you who just don't like this sort of film and perhaps enjoy something more simple yet well done and exciting, like Gladiator, I suggest you give this movie a try, you are guaranteed to like it.

Summary: Underachiever
Review: Given the strength of the cast, The Usual Suspects was a surprisingly down-beat and unambitious film. It was certainly watchable, but is a bit pointless - in announcing that the subject of proceedings is uncovering the identity of the mysterious Keyser Soze, it telegraphs the fact that There Will Be A Twist In The Ending And Keyser Will Turn Out To Be Someone You Didn't Expect (if there isn't, the film will just be plain dull), and unfortunately the twist is guessable after about three quarters of an hour, and all but inevitable by the time it arrives. Could have been better.

Summary: Awesome
Review: The ending had such a great twist. I would have never guessed!! The plot is interesting as it is original. This movie shows that the usual suspects don't necessarily make them the right suspects!

Review: Sometimes it seems that it's almost not worth it to write a less than enthusistic review these days. Any of the critiques below that are less than five star raves garner nothing but "unhelpfuls"--which begs the question: if you already KNOW you love it (or are gonna love it), why bother reading other people's reviews? Well, gang, this one is NOT for the legions who are already devotes of this movie. It's for those who may have heard that it's an ingenious film with a startling surprise ending...and who are intrigued but still not sure if it's for them. Quite simply, Here's how to tell: if you like Tarentino-style plot twists and characterizations, this may be for you. It's not nearly as inventive as "Pulp Fiction" or "Reservoir Dogs," but it is clever enough for an evening's entertainment. On the other hand, too much cleverness can be a trap. "The Usual Suspects" is just a tad too self-congratulatory for my tastes. And yes, if you know the genre at all, it IS possible to guess the ending. And yes again, the cast is impressive--more impressive than the dialogue or the direction. So Bryan Singer went on to direct such masterpieces as "Apt Pupil"? Hmmm, that says a lot. (SPOILER WARNING: Did they come up with the arch-villain's name only after they had cast the film?)
