Reviews of The Usual Suspects 1995
-
Although I do view The Usual Suspects as slightly overpraised, Bryan Singer's neo-noir crime thriller is a powerhouse of a film with a superb cast.

un desmadre narrativo que, al menos para mí, hizo más interesante la segunda vista pero la tercera (o sea, ésta) ya me dolió la cabeza.
filmada en 1945, tendría una imaginación visual muy promedio; en 1995 de pronto sí despega con shots neo-noir como estos: clic.
en fin.
[ah, el flashback mentiroso o poco fiable no es raro –hay en hitchcock, por ejemplo– pero ¿alguien sabe de otra película que sea completamente mentirosa? si sí, avise. creo que no hay.]

Okay so the screenplay flits between…

Without spoiling the ending, I predicted something completely different but looking back on the film I should have realised that it was an obvious red herring. There was some great action sequences and the score in particular…

I really liked this at the time - even though I knew the twist - but I must say that I don't remember much at all from it. I can really see going either way if I were to watch it again.
