A Smart, Sleek Crime Drama

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2004)

I was at a bit of a disadvantage watching this movie, because it's one of my sister's favorites, and I already had a hunch of what the ending was. Nevertheless, this movie is still pretty good as it keeps you thinking. The story can get kind of confusing with its many flashbacks and it did seem a little slow until we're introduced to the diabolical Keyser Soze, a heartless drug lord who killed his own family and strikes fear into any bad guy.
From that point, you try to figure out who really is Keyser Soze. It's very interesting to see how the story is played out and how we finally end up with the truth. The Usual Suspects is a movie that makes you think long after you've watched it, and it showcases one of the best scheming villains in movie history. This is definitely a must-see for any movie fan.
My IMDb Rating: 9/10. My Yahoo! Grade: A- (Almost Perfect)
