One of the greatest endings in Film

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 2010)

I had been wanting to watch this movie for a long time, but I had never got around to it. I finally got the chance to see it last night and I was blown away. The movie really did live up to all the hype thanks to great performances from the cast, especially Kevin Spacey. He is terrific in this movie. I also enjoyed Benicio del Toro although his character dies way to soon. The background music is your typical 90s suspense theme, but seeing this movie 15 years after its making you can say it is timeless nonetheless. This thriller is one of my favorites along with Seven, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs. After I finished watching this film I felt the same way as I did with all those cult classic movies. I was expecting the plot twist because that is what everyone talks about all the time, but I still loved that twist it was great. I love movies that slowly build up to a great ending. That boat shootout scene was just excellent. The movie had me hooked from the opening scene, Kevin Spacey is just great when he narrates a film. Excellent film, one of my favorites from the 90s and has a good twist at the end almost as good as The Sixth Sense. Very well constructed movie and great job by Bryan Singer as a director. This movie opened several doors for him as a director as it did for some of the actors as well
