Unusually good
By a customer from Leeds, Yorkshire , 20 Sep 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
Bryan Singer's film, the Usual Suspects is one of those rare gems that demands multiple viewings to confirm how great it was. Five felons are lined up and interrogated in a New York Police station and afterwards in their cell, they plot to get back at the NYPD. It soon becomes apparent however that a mythical crime lord, Keyser S?ze (a name that strikes fear into the heart of any criminal) is controlling the events that soon surround them. If you haven't already done so, buy this film and watch it, preferably in the wide screen format. The final two minutes consists of the most brilliantly edited piece of footage, soundtrack and theme music in the history of American cinema.
The Usual Suspects is one of the sharpest, most intelligent films I've ever viewed. McQuarrie's script deserved the Oscar it earned and Singer's direction should of gotten him one too. He manages to keep the complex film understandable to most casual viewers and he moves the all-star cast around well. The cast is also great: Spacey deserved his Oscar too, and Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Pollack were also deserving of recognition. This is one suburb film that throws a colourful cast of characters into a maze of well written intrigue and suspense. A personal favourite.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Roghol (5 reviews) , 19 Feb 2013Not bad. Worth watching. I already knew who the badass was so the ending wasn't such a revelation. I'll probably see it again some day.- Was this review helpful to you?

Yeah good
By gianino (618 reviews) from London , 04 Feb 2013Great cast and plot; however, I know he is a great actor but I can't stand Kevin Spacey. He's brilliant, I don't deny it but I just can't stand him so he spoils a bit this movie- Was this review helpful to you?

unmissably discussion provoking
By a customer , 03 Jan 2013Of all the films we saw last year - this was the best. It generated much 'armchair detective' discussion between us - very stimulating.- Was this review helpful to you?
