The greatest movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2004)

My hope is that by some chance when this review is posted on the main page that someone may be checking to see whether the Usual Suspects is worth watching. Well if you really enjoy crime movies with suspense, fantastic dialogue, ensemble casts, brilliant directing, and a marvelous story, then what are you waiting for? Do yourself a favor and rent the movie and don't read one more line of this paragraph, or anything else pertaining to the movie. Don't read the box, don't check out the cast, don't ask someone else if they've seen it. The less you know about this movie the more you will enjoy it.
And for those of us who have already seen it what can I say? This is probably the closest I have ever seen to a perfect movie. While I think parts of the story could have been better served for the viewer, the direction was flawless, absolutely flawless! Lastly i'd like to mention Pete Postlethwaite. Although it was short lived his appearance in the movie was so brilliant I think it was Oscar worthy. He really made the movie for me. "Myths... Legends..."
