a must see, but never again (unless you're bored)

see a mystery once, why see it again? unless of course you have forgotten the ending, or the content of the movie is worth watching even if you don't get to see the ending. but Usual Suspects is your usual mystery movie and fails to entice me to see it again. it is however better than, let's say 'Sixth Sense', which is completely hopeless without the ending. the movie is, although a wee bit vulgar, quite funny, and the acting is great. Benicio Del Torro was very entertaining and the biggest surprise of all, so was Baldwin; well maybe only during the line-up scene, but everyone was funny in there. but the real mystery for me was Kobayashi, is he supposed to be Japanese or what? because he doesn't look it. come to think of it, the ending is kind of a stretch
