Blink an eye.....and its gone

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2011)

Among thousands of movies available in the market, you might have seen some Suspense/ mystery movies which starts with an act of stupidness and make you fall asleep even before the interval. The twist is none shocking, and actors really make themselves look dim-witted. Well, this is NOT the movie I am talking about. This is what you call a perfect supence movie. Simply classic. "The Usual Suspects" starts with a boat being destroyed and the movie revolves around 5 suspects who are in circle of suspect of the Police and FBI. The presentation is great, all the actors have done a great job. A few movies like these are like a time machine. You never know what you are going to see next and they take you to a journey where you dive into the very depth. I am talking about movies like The ShawShank Redemption, Memento, and The Usual Suspects. Unlike other Suspense movies, though you may be able to guess how the movie will end ( which happens in almost all the Suspense movies), in the case of TUS , I guarantee you will never know about how the movie has taken a twist until the movie ends maybe because the script is so great, a double thumbs up to the writers.
The movie is a bit puzzling at times and you will need to gearup your brain to understand the depth of the drama, but the things get more and more exciting, knotty and ass kicking when the term "Keyser Söze" starts to kick in. Lots of great dialouges and quote in the movie, including " Give me the ****ing keys you ****sucker" which of course does not make sense at all but WILL have a smile on your face (if you are an adult i.e.) when the police ask them to tell it. Names in the movie are unique and different, names like Kobayashi, kaisor Soze really add Suspense/mystery to the scenes as they are not the names that are used often (not in the US or any western society). Till date I have watched this movie like 4 times, and wont stop watching this movie once in every 2/3 months until I get bored of it, which I know will never happen. I give this movie a 9, a minus one because, the movie needs full attention from the start to the end. If you don't, you might want to click the red button at the top right corner of your media player. All in all, a great movie, a huge suspense, will take you to the edge of your seat and find your fingernails all chewed up till the very end. If you are looking for something new in the Suspense genre, try The Usual Suspects. I tell you, blink an eyeand Its gone.
