Usual Suspects

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2005)

"The Usual Suspects" is one of the finest pieces of gangster crime movies coming out of the 1990s. Simply put, the story keeps the viewer on one's seat for the movie until the surprise ending, with a well deserved Oscar for Kevin Spacey, as well as superb performances for Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, Chazz Palminteri, and Benicio Del Toro. It has its many moments, such as the Interview with Verbal and Customs Agent Kujan, which ends in what the viewer is meant to believe, the meeting with Kobayashi, and the boat scene, which leads to the climax of the ultimate question of the film "Who is Keyser Soze?"
**** 1/2 out of 5
