My favorite of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2002)

The Usual Suspects weaves a plot that is so complex, original, and surprising. I have heard people say that they were not surprised by the ending. I find that extremely hard to believe. I was blindsided by the ending. Anyway, the movie is one of the most intelligently written movies that I have ever seen. I would love to spend an hour inside the mind of the writer, Christopher McQuarrie. No wonder he won an Academy Award for his screenplay. About the plot, I don't want to reveal too much, in case you have not seen it. It is mainly just a crime/mystery/thriller, but so much more. If nothing else, see the movie just for the revelation at the end of the movie.
