Summary: Keyser Soze!!!
Review: Great movie. Probably the best crime movie of the 90's (not sure if goodfella's counts as the 90's). Very engrossing story with an amazing ending. Smart, edgy, a movie that will always stand apart on its own. The DVD has plenty of extras too. This movie is a great edition to anybody's collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Surprise surprise
Review: Like the ending of "Carrie", this one is completely unexpected. Unlike the ending of "Carrie", this one makes you want to see the movie over and over. I'm still amazed at how good an actor Kevin Spacey is here. Well done. Classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie I've EVER Seen!!!!
Review: The first time I was going to watch this movie I didn't think I was going to like it. I thought it was going to be one of those boring suspense movies that is totally confusing and hard to keep up with............man was I wrong. This movie was great from begining to end. The whole cast in this movie does a fantastic job (especially Byrne and Spacey). However, the main reason I like this movie is because of its ending. This movie has the best ending that I've seen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THe Ususal Suspects: An Unusual Movie
Review: Whenever I'm on a boat, I think of 'The Usual Suspects'. Although it's quite confusing, it all comes together at the end. The movie is told through the eyes of clubfooted Kevin Spacey. Not for the sensitive moviegoer; this movie is rated 'R' for a reason.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My fave movie
Review: This is my favorite movie right now along with Goodfellas. Right from the start this movie gets you into it. Everything is great, it's a perfect movie, and you can watch it over and over again (I've actually watched it 3 times in the same day). Kevin Spacey was unbelivable or should I say too belivable? This is an underrated film that not enough people know about. It's fun to watch with other people and watch their reaction when the mug drops at the end too. If you haven't seen this movie and you like movies like Godfather, Heat, Goodfellas, or just movies with twist endings go buy it even if you haven't seen it. If you just like good movies make sure you rent this film, awesome directing by Bryan Singer. Great story, and the entire cast does a great job.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: See It twice (or 1 1/2 times)
Review: The first time I saw this movie, I turned it off after about 20 minutes. I was thinking, what the hell is going on here? No one had told me that that responce was to be expected, and you're really not supposed to get the beginning until you've seen the end. So, in my confusion, I was still sure based on the stellar performances, and the mere presence of Kevin Spacey, that this was a good movie, and I was just the idiot who gave up on it too fast.

So I rented it again, and this time watched it the whole way through. I still didn't understand the first 20 minutes, but it becones clearer after that. Boy oh boy, is this a good movie. It twists, and turns, and flashed back, and forth, and everything is spinning rapidly out of control, until the last minute & 30 seconds, when everything is completely cleared up; it's like a mind colonic.

So please, take the warning that no one gave me, and be prepared to be confused beyond anything else, except maybe "Mulholland Dr"...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Round up the Usual Suspects.
Review: It's a one shot deal, don't buy this movie, rent it. maybe watch it a second time while keeping an eye out for all the clues, but that is no real way to watch a move. Maybe scene by scene. It was really good, and quite original yet still ultimatly forgettable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great movie
Review: good story. wonderful actors. very interesting film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They Don't Get Any Better Than This!
Review: This film marks a return to the "classic thriller" genre, with fast paced action, superb acting, plenty of "red herrings" and a total pay-off at the end.

Kevin Spacey is great as the dumb-but-loyal small time criminal "gimp", one of several "usual suspects" the NYPD had been "eyeing" in connection with a puzzling shoot-out on deck of a ship believed to have contained a multi-million dollar cargo of cocain. The story twists and turns, leading the viewer into every possible wrong direction first, until eventually concluding with a WHAMMY!

I place this thriller right up there with "Double Jeopardy" and "Face-Off", and of course "American Beauty", as one of the absolute best films of the past decade in its genre.*****

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made!!
Review: This movie is by far one of the most enjoyable films ever made. You are just thrown into the plot head-on and then given little chance to breathe as Bryan Singer takes you deep into a story so rich with characters(the best part of the movie) and the acting genius that is Kevin Spacey. No matter what anyone says this movie is awesome. It's full of twists and turns that take the viewer on an amazing ride. If you have never seen it then give it a chance and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
