by gjacks - Top 500, Dec 30 '99
Pros: casting, story line, action, suspense Cons: excessive foul language
It must be frightening to be working for someone you have never actually seen...especially in the business that the criminals in the movie are in. The Usual Suspects are just that, usual suspects in any typical crime.
Singer Bryan directed...

Pros: It all one big Pro. Cons: Once you see it you must own it.
Like running top speed through a hall of mirrors, this film let me think I could see the end, then WHAM! Over and over again I found myself questioning my own sense of logic and reason. I rented this movie on a whim. I had no idea what it was about....

Pros: Plot, Actors, Scenery Cons: May go over some's heads
'The Ususal Suspects' is one of the most intellegent, funny, entertaining crime thriller to come along in ages. The film stars Gabriel Burne, Kevin Spacey, Kevin Pollak, Alec Baldwin, and Benicio Del Toro. The plot is that these 5 guys are criminals...

Pros: flawless movie Cons: none
This movie has everything you could possibly ask for: superior writing, directing, acting, and soundtrack. The performances in the film are wonderful, especially those by Kevin Spacey, Stephen Baldwin, and Gabriel Byrne. It's impossible to give a...

Pros: Very strong story and characterizations Cons: Rough language limits its audience, unfortunately
This film is one of the few I have seen in a long time that actually captured and held my attention for more than just a few moments at a time. Yes, I am one of those jaded moviephiles who hates everything, or so my friends claim, but I was...

Pros: Surprise Ending, nice screenplay,acting,action,etc... Cons: Too much profanity...
What I really like about The Usual Suspects is that it combines almost everything a movie needs in one. Like for example, it has horror, comedy, action, etc. You should really go see this movie. I have just rented it like 2 weeks ago (Current...

Pros: Amazing ending that will blow your mind Cons: a little violent
I had an all-new respect for Kevin Spacey after this one. This movie is my all time favorite. The end is like no other; it will blow your mind! Keyser Soze is a villain, the most dangerous man alive. The movie is composed of all the evil things this...

Pros: wonderful ending, strong script Cons: none!
... was to convince the world that he didn't exist." So says Verbal Kint, Kevin Spacey's character in The Usual Suspects. This is a good drama with a fantastic ending. Throughout the film, we wonder what the driving force behind this all is, and...

Pros: Ending tie in Cons: Confusing first hour/name dropping
The movie was recommended to me by many people and everytime I went to the video store to rent it, it was out. Hmmm, I wondered, it IS an old movie but I HAVE to see it.
Finally, one Saturday it was available and my boyfriend and I rented it....

Pros: Acting, Writing, Last Scene Cons: Some average supporting cast members
This is a terrific movie. It's smart, exciting, powerful, and makes you think. The writing is absolutely brilliant. The acting is terrific, especially Spacey in one of his greatest roles and performances. This movie is complex and the audience never...

Pros: great story, terrific dialogue, unimaginable ending Cons: none
This movie was so good that I actually went out and tried to buy some Kobayashi china from my local Wal-Mart. No dice. This flick enjoys a cult following on the Internet, and I can see why. It has more twists and turns than Lombard Street and plays upon...

The Usual Suspects has a wonderfully twisted plot full of suspense and action. The story line is deep and maybe at first confusing, but it adds a fitting portion of the suspense in this incredible puzzle of a movie. Kevin Spacey is great.

Pros: Kevin Spacey (he didn't win an Oscar for nothing!) Cons: There is some violence and objectionable language
When speaking of The Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer said he "...wanted to take the crime genre and twist it a little bit." Well, that he does, and very well too. This film grabs the audience and holds on as they, and the...

Pros: Great ending, Good acting Cons: You have to pay attention to the entire movie to get the full effect
This movie appeals to just about everyone. It may seem like a just another good flick about a bunch of bad guys trying to pull off the ultimate crime, but it ends up being so much more!
I got this movie because I'm a big Kevin Spacey fan. I was not...

Pros: Well directed, great story line Cons: Nothing worth saying
Well, this movie had never occured to me that it may have some worth until I heard just about everyone that watched it say that it was good. Well, I decided to rent this movie and give it a shot. All, I know is that a couple days later, I own a copy....
