one of my favorite movies!!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2006)

The Usual Suspects is hands down one of the best movies ever. It is one of those movies where you don't realize what you've seen until the end. The story is flawless and leaves you on the edge of your seat, which explains why it won a best original screenplay Oscar. The film is Directed by Bryan Singer (in his second picture).
The usual suspects has great ensemble cast. However, the one that shines the most is Kevin Spacey(who won a best supporting actor Oscar for the role)Spacey plays the cripple Verbal Kintwho is the only survivor of the boat incident. The film is told through the verbals flashbacks. Verbal flashbacks tell the story of 5 criminals who meet in a line up, which they think was no coincidence. The 5 criminals decide to pull a couple cons together, but when a they learn that a under ground drug-lord could be pulling the strings things start going terribly wrong.
The one thing I don't understand is why this movie did not get nominated for a best picture or director academy award. I love this movie you have to see it if you haven't already , you have too.
