Interesting Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2012)

The Usual Suspects is a very interesting movie that kept my attention span for the entire film. I was also drawn to this movie by the high IMDb rating. Does this movie live up to that 8.7? I really do not think so, but it comes close.
This story is about a guy named Verbal Kint who is interrogated by a federal agent and he tells the story about how some mob boss commissioned him and four others to do a job and also about the massacre upon a boat.
This movie has relatively unknown actors. Kevin Spacey was the guy I recognized the most and he did a really fantastic job. The rest of the cast gave convincing performances including Gabriel Byrne and the late Pete Postlethwaite.
This movie is known for the twist ending. I did not expect that to happen at all. The movie really did a good job keeping you in suspense.
Now this movie is somewhat overrated. I was lost a few times in the story and I thought the screenplay could have been better. Those are the only flaws I can point out.
Overall, this is a very good crime film and it was made with a very low budget. I rate this film 8/10.
