This is my favourite movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2000)

Let me begin by stating that this is my favourite movie of all time. The cast is phenomenal, and Kevin Spacey in particular shines, as was clearly recognized by his winning of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Verbal Kint. His performance is simply breathtaking, and this crime thriller is one of the most astonishing stories ever. The plot packs all kinds of twists and turns, and the mystery remains just that until the final few minutes. Just when you think you know everything, you find out that you don't. Few movies can maintain a mysterious air until the end, but this one not only does that, it delivers a tremendous story along the way, brought to life by one of the best ensemble casts in the history of the movies.
