a gripping blockbuster firecracker

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 1998)

To watch this movie once is to open a jar. A second time, it is a puzzle box. A third, a box of chocolates. You jus' never know what you gonna get.
Central to the movie, minus certain continuations, is the identity of "Keyser Soze". In the end, perhaps it is revealed and perhaps it is hoax. There is no clear answer and in that lies the value. I believe the director wanted it to be such, that we are left to ponder if the usual suspects and hence arch-criminal Keyser Soze, are perhaps figments of our mind, given life by paranoia and need to scapegoat for what lies in our own dark hearts. Who is Keyser Soze? I say, he is we, and we are him. Who is Keyser Soze if not no one and everyone at the same time? This is elucidated by multiple viewings, suggested for those interested in such fair.
