Usual Suspects

Pros: great acting, plot, incredible ending
Cons: slow at first

It is not very often that an original concept comes to the big screen, but "The Usual Suspects" shows the originality and the grand writing that so many of today's movies lack. Great acting, especially Kevin Spacey, is exhibited all throughout...

Pros: re-watching makes the movie all the better
Cons: cons? what cons?

The first time I sat down and watched this movie I was unsure what I was in for. I hadn't heard anything about it, nobody was talking about it, and I don't even remember it being in the theaters. I sat though the whole length of them film on the edge...

Pros: It's a high suspense mystery! It never gets dull!
Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!

THE USUAL SUSPECTS is a suspenseful mystery that has you sitting on the edge of your seat throughout. Who is it? Who is Keyser Soze? When you finally think that you have it figured out...guess what? New clues are added to the intricate plot that make...

Pros: complexity, well thought out, keeps you guessing
Cons: somewhat confusing

An excellent, thought out film. The Usual Suspects seems somewhat difficult to follow in the beginning, but it all finally falls into place as the movie progresses. It's cuts from past to present and present to the past as told by Verbal, Kevin...

Pros: great ending
Cons: none

This is probably one of my favorite films for one reason only: it kept me guessing the whole time.The director of this film picked on totally unlikely cast of characters which worked perfectly. The first time I watched the film, I kept trying...

Pros: strong plot, incredible performances
Cons: you will not enjoy it if you don't pay attention

If you are an intelligent person who is happy spending six bucks on a movie that "entertains", but would enjoy more a film which "involves" you you must see this movie.
This movie successfully does something that fewer and fewer...

Pros: The last 3 minutes
Cons: The whole movie being a lie

As much as I love the ending to this movie, it makes you wonder... wasn't the whole rest of the movie a complete waste?

The movie starts off with Spacey weaving a story, which you later learn to be a complete lie, about how he was crookedly...

Pros: edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller
Cons: None, in my opinion

“...round up the usual suspects.” No, this isn’t just a famous line from Casablanca. It is also the twisted crime thriller that weaves a tale of robbery, murder and fear that needs a score card just to keep track of the players.

Usual...

Pros: Great Ending
Cons: Confusing in parts.

I just finally got around to watching the Usual Suspects. I wanted to see it because several friends of mine who's opinions I respect told me it is one of their favorite movies.

I wouldn't say that this is one of my favorites, but it is a...

Pros: everything
Cons: not enough movies like this

Kevin Spacey should have been Best Actor for this movie, period. He won Best Supporting, but who the hell was he supporting!? Maybe giving him the Best Supporting Actor award was significant in supporting further evidence that the old men at the...

Pros: great story, great acting, great ending
Cons: excessive cursing, some violent scenes

I picked this movie off the rack by chance. I recalled hearing something about it, but that was a long time ago. Not knowing what to expect I slid it into the VCR awaiting another possible disappointment.
I can't say that I was disappointed that I...

Pros: Extremely surprising end, Brilliantly designed story, Kevin Spacey 's best performance
Cons: Needs an half hour of patience maybe

Before starting to watch, I almost knew nothing except for the Kevin Spacey 's existence about the movie. Just turn of the lights and start... As a woman a thriller genre movie has to be nearly perfect for me to say " it's good " and yes it is! In the first quarter it was classic gang movie then the tension rapidly increased which ended in an unpredictable manner. At the end I rewind the whole story in my mind with an open mouth, wow what a cunningly designed scenario! I really don't want to give a summary of the movie because I believe that if you know little about Kevin Spacey 's performance and Benicio Del Toro you wont have any hesitation. No need to say that the whole cast was great. It's not just the a one man show.

The hitting quote from the movie : The greatest trick devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exists. (Verbal Kint to Kujan)

Lastly, please watch the movie to the end (In fact I have no doubt as you will die to know who Keyser Soze really is.)

Pros: Great suspense movie, amazing acting.
Cons: Have to urinate uncontrollably at the end due to holding it the entire movie.

Over the last few years I've had many chances to watch this movie, but every time I passed for some reason or another, something for which I am kicking myself in the head now. This movie is one of the greatest suspense movies I have ever seen, and Kevin Spacey is at his finest in this movie. If you enjoy movies that make you go "hold on one (insert appropriate language here) second!" at the end of the movie, this is definately a movie you would want to see. I would tell you to dish out the $3 and rent it at Blockbuster, but I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did. Rather, go to Best Buy and pay the $12-$17 and buy the damn thing, you won't regret it.
