One of the best movies of all time!!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2000)

After reading so much about the magnificence of "The Usual Suspects" I finally decided to add it to my movie collection. I had never seen it and was taking a chance in buying it but was I ever happy I did.
First off the plot in one word is magnificent. The plot unfolds through the story (to the police) of Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey). After an explosion at the San Pedro harbour the police pick up con man, and only survivor of the explosion, Verbal Kint. Kint tells his story to the police. After a police lineup, five career criminals decide to work together. They do very well together until a mysterious crime figure decides they should work for him to repay debt owed to him. These events eventually lead to the explosion in the harbour.
The acting is magnificent most notably Kevin Spacey. The musical score and direction are both bang on.
And just a side note the twist at the end of this movie is the best all time.
***** out of *****
