The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone"

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2013)

The Usual Suspects is that genre of cinema in which everything is cleverly woven throughout the film in seamlessness, with the famous phrase of nothing is what it seems. Ironically, Bryan Singer scoffs of the spectators in the broadest sense of the word, convincing them to believe what is vividly visualized before them while keeping up the brilliant final outcome to the very last minute. Up until today, this dense and overwhelming intrigues throughout the film remain timeless, making it one of the most interesting and refreshing nineties thriller. Furthermore, we can easily list down the strengths behind this classic goody starting from the simple but robust camera work, the casts' unsurpassed acting work, the intrigue, suspense and also the remarkable complex structured framework.
To be honest, in my first viewing, I tried to find out the 'culprit' responsible for whatever happened along the way; however, I failed for I went with the flow who were led to believe by my so-called careful viewing. This film turned out to be much clever than how it looked at the beginning. It contained a tension, intrigue and uncertainty that all filled within the mind of the audience so absolutely it's a delight for all senses. Personally, I felt cheated. I found this film superb, extremely intelligent, perfectly developed from all points of view and sustained by characters. A very solid film from the beginning to the end. If you haven't seen it then I advise you go see it. Get immersed in the magic of this movie, waste no time and get ready to have some fun. In short, this is a pure entertainment at the highest level.
