An Intellectual Story of Thieves and Violence

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2017)

The Usual Suspects is a 1995 crime drama with elements of the noir and thriller genres. The story follows the misadventure of five felons who are brought together after they are all arrested and brought in for questioning. Bringing these five criminals together gives the police more than they bargain for as the rogues plan to work together on a future theft. Eventually, the team crosses a powerful criminal underlord and is forced to pull a suicidal job.
This film is fascinating, fun, and full of intensity. The well- written story, the thrills, and the amazing cast makes The Usual Suspects a fantastic movie. This film will draw you in from the beginning and it only gets better as the plot progresses.
The only complaint that I would have with The Usual Suspects is the accent of the character Fred Fenster, played by Benicio del Toro. It is simply bad, whatever he was attempting to do. His acting, however, is fantastic. In fact, the entire cast is great, including Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Spacey. The casting of this film is perfect.
I recommend this movie for anyone, regardless of taste. It is simply that good. A mystery/crime drama/thriller that will leave you amazed.
