Great Mystery Movie, but No Classic

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2002)

I definitely enjoyed this movie. The performances by all of the lead actors were excellent. The characters were also very interesting, both as individuals and collectively.
***Possible SPOILERS***
The story was good also, but for me it had one fatal flaw. Why would Soze go through all the effort to eliminate the one man that could identify him, only to allow himself to be arrested? Sure no one knew it was him at the time of the arrest, but why risk the chance of anyone figuring it out?
It would have made alot more sense if he had just disappeared after killing Keaton. Now alot more people can identify him. I know he mentioned "never surfacing again", but if that was the case, then why bother killing the one guy in the first place.
So I enjoyed it for the mystery, but this flaw kept me from rating it a classic.
