Simply amazing

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2008)

After hearing people rave about this movie I finally managed to watch this movie a couple of months ago. I have to admit it the first time I disliked it, I probably wasn't concentrating. The second time I absolutely loved it. The usual suspect is fantastic twisty thriller backed up by wonderful performances from all the main leads.It seems hard to imagine thatthe writer of The Usual Suspects was only twenty four when he wrote it.Kevin Spacey in my opinion completely stole the show. Even though I knew whatthe final twist was it did hinder me from appreciating it. What is so amazing is how the writer managed to skillfully put in clues that could lead us to a conclusion but the references are so slight we might not notice it. It seems to have inspired other movies with twists at the end that leave your head spinning, for instance The Sixth Sense. The Usual Suspects in my opinion is the best thriller of the 90's.
