Why I thought the film was great.

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 1998)

'The Usual Suspects is probably one of the best American movies of the decade. At long last a film which is intelligent, complicated and doesn't treat its audience like idiots. The cast is fantastic, with Kevin Spacey truly deserving his Oscar. The film is stylish and brilliantly directed with the tension rarely letting up. The twist at the end adds a great deal to the film. This is particularly true if you re-watch the film as it is intriguing to consider how the twist is built up throughout the film. What more can you say, a truly brilliant thriller.
