Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant piece of work
Review: A classic film about a group of bad guys who don't seem to understand that they are being manipulated by unseen hands. Great acting, dialog and suspense. It is hard to pin down which cast member is the star. Well written and directed and will keep you watching and guessing until the end, then for a while after that.
I had to watch it three times just to "get it". Grand stuff to watch with a few buddies, sipping some beers and puffing on a good cigar. Check it out

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must See!
Review: This movie is phenominal. I have been a fan of this film for years. A power packed cast who are all at the top of their game for this film.

Excellent!

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is My Favorite Movie of All Time
Review: This movie is a "thinkers's" movie. I've seen it 8 times. If you like movies with unexpected turns, you'll love this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
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.
