Film making at it's best

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2001)

Having seen The Usual Suspects I have been telling my friends all about it. They prefer to watch dumb action films rather than 'talking' films. The Usual Suspects is a 'talking' film but the script and directing is so good that it is an instant classic.
It tells the story of five criminals brought together in a line up and decide to do some jobs together after their release. These Usual Suspects do a variety jobs with great success. This is all told by cripple Verbal Kint (Oscar winner Kevin Spacey) in flashbacks. As the story builds the question is, Who is Keyser Soze?
Singer handles the movie perfectly and the writing by Christopher McQuarrie is first class. As for the other actors they all give brilliant support. Stephen Baldwin plays psycho McManus, Gabriel Byrne is ex-cop Keaton, Benicio Del Toro is McManus' partner Fenster and Kevin Pollack is weapons expert Todd Hockney.
The film has an unbelievable ending which has to be seen to be believed. The Usual Suspects is one of the greatest movies ever!
