The clues fit like a puzzle the more times you watch it

Well thats what I thought and hoped, but the matter of fact that after watching it at least 5 times (a couple were interrupted viewings) since it was released I'm still pretty much in the dark. At least if you were to watch it now you'd appreciate the supporting cast of more familiar faces of benecio and pollack, at the time byrne and baldwin would have been the recognizables and spacey the newcomer. I was thinking their was more action in this, but to watch it now seems it more an episode of gillmore girls than a lost episode. It was released around the same time as Heat which i'm a huge fan of and probably a big factor to why I didn't rate this to well because for the timing issue I always think of heat when I hear usual suspects. Benecio is very very funny especially reading the card in the line up. The twist is what the film is primarily remembered for which is pretty sad, due to the very good acting and chemistry. But regardless the movie still ended up as a classic in many eyes (and launched spacey, del toro & singer)...sadly not mine, I'll give it another shot one day
