Summary: Kevin Spacey - WOW
Review: Kevin Spacey should be in every movie. How many "Oscars" does he have? He SHOULD have one for every movie he's ever been in - especially this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enough twists and curves to wreck a sports car
Review: The morning after a five-man gang's attempt to loot a ship in Los Angeles harbor ends in a litter of corpses, the lone survivor tells a police investigator what happened. He explains that it all started when the five of them were hauled into a police lineup in New York. They were then all recruited for one big job by Keyser Soze, a mysterious criminal mastermind who may or may not even exist.

And so begins "The Usual Suspects," a gritty crime drama in which nothing is what it seems to be -- or is it? Kevin Spacey won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of "Verbal," the talkative survivor who weaves a fabric of lies, betrayal, and blood. The movie is filled with double-crosses galore, and the Oscar-winning screenplay is amazing. This is one movie that has to be seen more than once, just to pick up what you missed the first time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kevin Spacey at his best
Review: Kevin Spacey is amazing throughout the entire film. His performance earned him the 1995 Academy Award for best supporting actor (although he had the most lines out of anybody). Although an independent film, word-of-mouth made the movie a box-office success, and is listed as #15 on the top movies of all time list. The R rating is due to some violence, but mostly the extreme profanity, and although the extremety of it occurs mostly in the first 30 minutes, the rest of the movie still carries a substantial amount of strong language. There is no sexuality, though. Fun and thought-provoking, the movie delivers the most incredible and creative ending that I have ever seen. I give it five stars out of five.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An ending still to be rivaled
Review: My brother took me to see this movie when it first came out, when I was 13 years old. I didnt think it would be that good, just a typical suspense movie. But when I walked out of the theater it had my head spinning; it was the first ...movie I'd seen and I couldn't stop thinking about how cool it was-everything about it: the 5 main characters that glamourized being a crook, the action sequences, the story that slowly unravels and keeps you watching until the end that throws it all back in your face. And the movie could be hilarious when it wanted to be- the whole interrogation scene is full of rapier wit that is flawlessly delivered by Pollack, DelToro, and Baldwin (-We can put you in Queens the night of the hijacking -I live in Queens, put that together yourself Sherlock?) Buy the DVD, you wont regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This is by far the best suspense thriller I have ever seen in my lifetime. I can't remember any other movie that left my mouth agape at the end totally surprised. What a great plot this movie had. To top it off the characters in the movie, especially Kevin Spacey, do an excellent job of delivering the script which is also well-written. I can't usually watch suspense thrillers more than once or twice. However, I can watch this movie as many times as I am allowed because the script is so well written. They got me hook, line, and sinker. If you want the standard for suspense thrillers, you need to add this to your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not the usual movie
Review: A great movie with a great cast of characters and actors. I mention both because the script provides us with a great story concerning a collection of rogues, and the actors truly make these rogues memorable. This film takes a crime drama and adds a twist.

As the story unfolds, the viewers, as well as the interrogating police, find themselves getting more and more enmeshed in the tale.

The work of Kevin Spacey in this movie is stellar. He shares a very wide acting range with the audience. Seeing his performance alone is worth the time to see the movie.

I would highly recommend seeing this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the best movie I have ever seen
Review: The plot is simply the best I have ever seen. The performance by Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Spacey is masterful. I own three copies of the same movie and I still feel the urge to see it again. The movie is a jewel.
Definately it is money well spent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the only thing that scares me
Review: I have been an avid fan of Brian Singers wortk over the many years. This film has been a the forefront of all "singerstyle" movies to be released since. The movie displays the most extravagent style of thinking since zombies live that i have seen in years. Once the story unfolds you will understand why singer is and all ways will be the king of the thinking mans suspence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Find out the ansewer to the question "Who is Keyser Söze"
Review: I consider this movie to be one of the greatest thrillers of the 90's. You never know where the action is going to turn and there is never a dull moment. The action is told from the point of view of the sole survivor of gang. He and the story he reveals will have you guessing about the ending and your answer will always be wrong. The movie is fun but scary in a freaky kind of way at the same time Great performances all around, this kinda reminds me of "The Long Kiss Goodnight"

Overall-If you are looking for a good movie get this
