Very interesting modern classic

The Usual Suspects (1995) is a riveting tale with Kevin Spacey, as Verbal Kint, delivering superb acting as the sole survivor of a dope deal gone bad being interrogated by Federal Agent Dave Kujan ( played by Chazz Palminteri). The action, intrigue and suspense with lots of terrific twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you have figured out what is going on, something else occurs that leaves you asking, "What else could possibly happen now?" You will have to watch this movie several times to catch all the ins-and-outs.The cast did perfect acting which my favorite besides spacey was Mcmanus played by Stephen baldwin and the halerious Fred Fenster played by Benicio Del Toro. A modern classic after reservoir dogs ( which i think the idea of the usual suspects came from & pulp fiction which has nothing in commen but is just simply another masterpieace in my book).

Good, Even if You Don't Like Crime Movies

I was at a friend's house, and he decided to put this movie on. Most of the movies he has put on in the past haven't excited me very much, so I was very critical from the start.

However, The Usual Suspects proved to be quite watchable, and I wouldn't mind watching it again. Unfortunately, since there's a kind of plot twist at the end of the movie, there's not much I can say in my review without ruining the plot for everybody. It's best watched when the audience has no idea of what's going to happen. In fact, since I told you there's a twist to begin with, I've ruined the movie for you already. So just go ahead and give my review an unhelpful vote right now.

But, then again, I've seen the plot twist - and I still feel I could enjoy the movie a second time even though I already know what's going to happen. I guess The Usual Suspects is just a good movie regardless.

Into the depths of criminality

"The Usual Suspects" seems at first to be the typical tale of a gang of urban criminals. But each minute brings the viewer deeper and deeper into a world in which things are not as they seem. The plot tentacles from the low-life antics of a group of five LA criminals into a global network of criminal enterprise and motivations that is difficult to imagine.

The tale is told mostly from the vantage point of 'Verbal' Kint, a small time criminal who is being interrogated by the police. Kint retells a story that starts when he was unexpectedly included in a lineup that includes the other four - the "usual suspects" of the title. There is a police shakedown going on, the unraveling of which becomes the central story line of the entire film.

Great performances, especially by Gabriel Byrne as Dean Keaton, the one-time big operator trying to go straight and by Pete Postlethwaite as Kobayashi, the laconic fixer-in-chief of a mysterious Bulgarian named Keyser Söze.

Well-written and captivating from beginning to end.

Excellent crime thriller.

Five thieves are called together by a mysterious mind to pay off a debt to him that none of them realized existed. They're supposed to make amends by pulling off a dangerous heist. There is a violent shootout near the end. The climax itself is unbelievable if too closely examined, but the film itself is done so well that you're not that likely to question the logic behind the plot. Fine direction. Excellent acting on everyone's part, particularly Kevin Spacey. Good script too, with insinuating dialog: "The greatest trick the devil ever performed was convincing the world that he didn't exist." If you like action, police stories, crime thrillers, and a bit of edginess in your movies, you'll like this one.
