Summary: The Best Film Ever......
Review: What can i say except if you haven't seen this film you haven't lived!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely the best movie I have ever seen!
Review: I can't put a review of this movie into words. Simply stunning and brilliant. The acting is wonderful. I can honestly say that Kevin Spacey is the most talented actor in Hollywood today. Anyone who has not seen this movie has to see it, at least once.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is my All-time favorite movie
Review: Don't read the back panel, don't listen to your friends or enemies, watch this movie but watch it and pay attention; that is what I did and it is one of if not the greatest movie I have ever seen!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This isn't just a movie...its an experience!!!
Review: I think it can safely be said that I have rarely been so impressed with a movie. Everything about this movie meshes together perfectly. From the first strings of John Ottman's absoloutely haunting score to the the incredible script and the flawless (and I mean flawless!!) performances by all five of the "suspects". Foremost by Kevin Spacey who after this movie became my favourite actor. Amazing support from Chazz Palminteri as the Customs Officer investigating the puzzling crime. This movie keeps you guessing making you come to conclusions that you think are unshakable and then destroying them as the film unravels. So you keep changing your conclusions trying to decide who is who and what is going on. The closer you get to the end the more firmly you believe you are right. Then in the last minutes of the film it doesn't matter what you thought (even if you were right) the movie makes you see that you have to look beyond the obvious or even the not so obvious. Like everyone says the ending is a complete shocker to everybody (in one form or another). It redifines the way you think. I never get tired of watching this movie, there is always something new to appreciate. Reflecting on the minor details, actions and even the dialogue (some of those one liners are destined to become - if they aren't already - classics) will make the ending make even more sense and that much more incredible. As to the critics who claim that the ending blows holes in the rest of the movie and the plot, I say they're mistaken. Watch and listen carefully, everything happens for a reason the ending doesn't change the story, it defines it. What can I say? This movie immerses you making you use all your senses and perceptions...it chills you with its grittiness it warms you with its offbeat humor and then gives you goosebumps in the end. That's why this isn't just a movie...its an experience!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Blows your mind awesome!
Review: This movie is a thrill-a-minute. Everyone in it is spectacular, but Spacey is the best! I love this movie. If you like movies that keep you guessing, get this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very possibly the best movie you will see in years
Review: I was skeptical of this movie at first. I was a little unsure of the timeline. Many movies get you lost jumping back and forth between times. The Usual Suspects gives you the time line quickly and with little wasted time. The story is a masterpiece and the acting is spectacular. The ending is the absolute best. Bottom line: watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding.
Review: This has to be one of my favorite movies. I'm not really sure where some of the negative comments out here are coming from, but each to his own. I think Kevin Spacey did an amazing job, and the rest of the cast worked well together.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Kevin Spacey makes the movie
Review: While the movie is great and a definite must-see it is Kevin Spacey's performance as the invalid narrator that makes this movie a true classic. He is simply incredible, yet also very believable. without him the ending would never have worked so well. You have to see this movie, even if only for Kevin Spacey (he won't let you down).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Some Corrections
Review: As a major fan who's seen this thing about a dozen times (yes, yes: my friends are saving up to buy me a life for Christmas) I just wanted to make a couple corrections to your otherwise good review. First, Soze (according to Verbal, who ought to know) is in fact Turkish with a possible German father. Second, Dave Kuljan (Palmintieri's character) is actually a customs agent, not a detective.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!!!!
Review: The Usual Suspects is, all in all, a great movie, but I wouldn't have given it 5 stars if the end of the picture had been different. It was simply brilliant! And Kevin Spacey's acting was great, his encounter with the detective in that small (or seemingly small) room was full of tension. The story itself is compelling though I had to watch it twice before I was sure of what was happening when. The other actors throw in some good acting too but Spacey has got the ball. Great movie, I recommend you to see it if you're ready to let one or two a bit not so pleasant scenes to slide by. Best movie I've seen.
