Pros: Casting, script, directing, acting and sound
Cons: Yes.. it is about 5 cons
I originally decided to see this movie because of Kevin Spacey. I have been a fan of his for years and have yet to see a bad performance. Nothing else drew me. I thought the concept seemed silly and had not had any experience with the writer or...

Pros: An excellent story that leaves you in awe.
Cons: NONE!!!
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world that he didn't exist."
I am envious of anyone who hasn't seen this movie, because they still have the chance to be surprised by this wonderful flick.
This...

Pros: Very nice work with my story
Cons: I'm just a little private sometimes....
Hi there everybody, Pach1908 here. I have a confession to make to all of you I'm the "real" Keyzer Sozay. As you can tell. I'm a little taller than Kevin Spacey, and I think I look more like Robert Redford or Matt Damon, but Kevin did a great...

Pros: Makes you think!
Cons: Too much smoking!
Imagine what might come of a long night of passion between Agatha Christie and Martin Scorsese. After they stayed up late watching "JFK", "Batman", reruns of "Dragnet", and old Hitchcock films. You would have "The Usual...

Pros: Excellent character involvement, great screenplay
Cons: being curiously confused at the end... but that can be a pro too.
If I could only write six words in my review they would be : Buy it, Watch it, Love it. That pretty much sums up my entire review.
I vaguely remember seeing the trailers for this movie on TV or at the theatre, so I was unfortunate enough not...

Pros: Intertwining plot with many twists and an awesome ending.
Cons: Plan enough time to watch it twice, otherwise you'll walk away scratching your head.
While in college one tends to rent many movies for those nights when it seems like the studying will fry your brains. The Usual suspects was rented under the presumption that it was a mindless comedy like most Stephen Baldwin movies. Being the type who...

Pros: Crafty, witty, makes you think... amazing ending
Cons: dialogue a bit hard to follow, very dense.
After recently writing a review for The Sixth Sense, I began to think about other such movies which had a powerful ending. Of course, Citizen Kane and Empire Strikes Back could've contended, but for me, the 90's suspense film was defined in one movie;...

Pros: Story, acting, humor
Cons: might be confusing to some
Everyone who's seen this movie invariably says something about the ending. Yes, it's the probably one of the greatest ever, and yes, you should be shot for giving it away, but the thing that made me buy this movie were the little details and intricate...

by verbalgirl , May 20 '00
Pros: Excellent screenplay, flawless editing and sound, gorgeous cinematography, and Kevin Spacey's Oscar-winning performace
Cons: Profuse profanity.
The opening credits sequence of THE USUAL SUSPECTS is very dark and moody: blue lights reflected in dark water, over which simple piano and violin accompaniment plays. This effectively sets the stage for this Academy Award-winning thriller, a stylish,...

by pgebheim , Dec 30 '00
Pros: Great Directing, Story, Characters... everything.
Cons: Probably not suitable for children. A little dark.
The usual suspects is a twist on the classic 'who dun it' murder mystery story. Right from the start the movie seemed different from what I was used to watching and throughout the movie I kept getting the same impression, the excitement of thinking...

Pros: Reinvention of the Narrative Form in Films, A Landmark
Cons: None
Bryan Singer's 'The Usual Suspects' will invert your perspective on traditional narrative form in films. Not in recent memory has a film pulled off the trick that this one does--it assumes its audience is intelligent enough to pick through its story...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Spoils you for other movies
This is one of my favorite movies, and one of the most clever. This movie has great writing, great directing, great acting, intelligent plot, excellent delivery, and a fantastic surprise ending. If I could recommend any movie to anyone, this would be...

by Alienabductee , Jan 19 '00
Pros: Keeps you on the edge of your seat; totally confuses you till the end; more twists than may pole
Cons: No time for a potty break; don't know the end until the end
This movie has to be one of the most suspenseful, and action packed movies that I have seen in a long LONG time. I thought that I wouldn't like this movie the first time that I saw it, but I knew that Stephen Baldwin was in it and that was reason enough...

by lilith70 , Nov 19 '99
Pros: Suspenseful, visually incredible, no-holds-barred
Cons: Violent, sometimes confusing, no-holds-barred
As an intelligent viewer, I generally shy away from mysteries because I almost ALWAYS figure out the ending before the movie is half-over. Golly, but that just DIDN'T HAPPEN with "The Usual Suspects". Even after the movie was over, I wasn't...
