Outstanding plot, brilliant actor´s performances

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2002)

It tells the pretty complex story about a big robbery. There are five suspects for the crime and during the movie, everything gets far more complicated. The story is told by one of the suspects: the cripple Verbal Kint, which is played by Kevin Spacey. Spacey´s actor´s performance is so incredibly brilliant, that one would say he´s the leading star of the movie. But no: they all play brilliant! The actor´s performances of every single one person in this movie is really outstanding. The scene where Verbal walks into the office of the police officer, sits down and looks around is great! When you´ve seen the movie, you know why! As the story goes further, we learn that there´s one person who committed the crime: Keyser Soze. He´s a mythical person, who´s almost been never seen by anyone and is very, very dangerous. From that point on, the big question of the movie is: who of the suspects is Keyser Soze? So, the movie is a really `who did it' type of movie. Normally, those movies aren´t really original, but this one..really is original. The plot is one of the best I´ve ever seen and the ending is THE best ending I´ve ever seen. The most beautiful thing about it is that after watching it once, you want to watch it a second time immediately. The second time you watch it, you see it from a totally other perspective, because you know who did it. The acting is also in a double kind of way: some scenes can be interpreted in two ways (before and after you know). So, in sum, this movie is brilliant, one of the best ever. As a matter of fact, The Usual Suspects is rated 4th on my personal `best ever movies' list. Kevin Spacey is one of my most favourite actors, mainly for his acting in The Usual Suspects and American Beauty (and let´s not forget The Negotiator and K-Pax). To people who didn´t see Usual Suspects jet: immediately run out of your house, get a copy and watch it, if you want to call yourself a movie lover, you really should´ve seen this one!!
