Not Sure If I Understood It

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2003)

!!!! MAJOR SPOILER !!!!
I remember watching THE USUAL SUSPECTS for the first time and being totally convinced the ending had satanic/supernatural overtones with Verbal being able to walk properly because Keyser Soze was indeed the devil and his reward for keeping his mouth shut was the use of his leg , but in a later conversation with my brother in laws sister she told me the ending was the coventional non pre-destination/non supernatural ending of Verbal making up the events by reading the bulletin boards in the police office . I actually thought this might have been the ending after all but still clung to my own interpretation . It`s a very ambiguous ending and I don`t believe for a moment that Christopher McQuarrie meant the ending to be so open to interpretation which means it`s not as clever as is made out . I think THE USUAL SUSPECTS is rather over rated and doesn`t deserve to be number 17 on the IMDB top 250 list
