It killed in the '90s and still does

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2015)

It's been quite some time since I first saw "The Usual Suspects", but I still remember that twist ending; one for the ages, that one. Would a person today be able to see it coming? Not sure, but no question does the movie still hold up. It's a playful exercise in misdirection with the novel camera tricks, jumbled narratives and central burning question: "Who is Keyser Söze?" (try telling me you haven't heard that catchphrase in popular culture). And even if that big reveal no longer packs punch, at its heart, it's still a sizzling crime movie with a motley assortment of macho gangsters.
7/10
