They don't make movies like this anymore

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2018)

The Usual Suspects is just an all-around great film.
The cast is fantastic. All of the main characters deliver wonderfully witty and original performances, nobody is screwing up a line. At the pinnacle of acting here stands - quite obviously - Kevin Spacey. Not only does he effortlessly show the physical disability of his character, he also generates a weird kind of sympathy toward the viewer throughout the movie.
Camera work is also great. Nothing too special, but the dolly-and-zoom combo in the close-ups gives the movie a steady urgency that keeps the viewers interested, even in the more lenghty or irrelevant sections.
This might sound like The Usual Suspects doesn't have too much of a story to deliver. Well, it turns out the story is by far the best part. It's complicated, interesting and surprisingly revealing at times (I won't spoiler here, see for yourself). Though at certain points during the movie, I felt a little left-alone in the increasing amount of facettes that show up and things you have to remember while still paying attention to the dialogues, but that doesn't do any bad to how great the movie is after you've completed watching it.
All in all, I had real fun for the most part except the few confusing bits, actors and production were also great. Loved it, will watch again
