A movie that changed movie twists forever !!

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2014)

What can really be said about The Usual Suspects? Its beautifully shot, stunningly well acted but that's really thanks in part to Kevin Spacey's masterful performance. Its one of the most simple movies you'll ever experience with some of the greatest plot twists in movie history. Thia film is a masterful thriller that toys with the viewer's mind and presents a deliberately unfocused narrative to confuse the audience and colorful characters.
The actors in The Usual Suspects are all perfectly cast. Gabriel Byrne presents the most mystery out of the five leads; his Keaton is the most murky and reserved. Kevin Pollak, known for more light-hearted comedic roles, makes Hockney the least serious and more witty of the main characters but still excels in playing a scumbag. Stephen Baldwin, before his career collapsed and he became a has-been born-again Christian, is suitably reckless and unpredictable as McManus. Benicio del Toro is the less prominent of the five leads, although his poor usage of English provides much of the film's humor. Kevin Spacey is the most impressive out of the cast, playing Kint as a sympathetic man who may be more than he appears to be which won him the Oscar. Pete Postlethwaite brings a non-chalant smoothness to the role of Kobayashi, a sleazy but unrefined criminal.
This movie gives you chills, it makes you think about what a person could do, an average Joe. It gives a twist known by many to be a surprise of a lifetime. You can almost feel the betrayal and the sense of trickery. It uses a firm plot and all the right hints to send you the wrong way. If a person watched the first five minutes, as well as the last five, you would have missed nothing short of a great movie. Now when you ad in the other ten minutes, you get a must watch film.
