A bold, stylish and mind bending thriller, Singer at his best

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2009)

The Usual Suspects is a film superbly directed, acted and scripted it could just pass as one of the best of it's kind. The various layers and dishes served upon the final production can only be looked upon as epic and intimate. Not only is The Usual Suspects a rare first-class thriller, but a power-house phenomenon that one would have to be re-watched time and time again.
Taken into account the flawless direction and 'can't be bettered' script, it's the acting that bubbles the most. Spacey's performance is outstanding and possibly one of the finest to have been watched. Not forgetting the rest of the sheer class of acting brilliance which was; Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Chazz Palminteri and Pete Postlethwaite.
The Usual Susupects is a cult classic that rightly deserves it's acclaimed status.
