the best suspense film ever

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2002)

This is my favorite film at the moment i bought it on vhs not long ago - it actually took me a while to find it and it was worth it. It is one of those films that keeps you guessing, and although you may be half way through the film and you think you've got the ending sorted, you'll probably change your mind about 5 times before the end of the film as to who you believe Keyzer Sozer to be. It is not a film that is easily sussed.
The cast is fantastic, Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Baldwin, Benicio Del Toro and Kevin Pollock work well together and Spacey fully deserved his oscar for best supporting actor. The script is one of those that on paper probably makes you think "this will never work" but it does and is one of the most complex films i have watched for a while.
It will always be remembered for the line up scene which was in a way a mistake as the cast couldn't stop laughing at each other but it was decided that it be left in, and this, along with the boat scenes, is one of the best scenes of the film.
The film has a perfect ending to match a perfect build up to the climax and should definatley be watched by all crime/suspense/thriller fans everywhere!!
ps. and anyone else for that matter
