Reviews of The Usual Suspects 1995
-
Even without ever having seen the film, everyone seems to know the infamous police line-up scene, and with good reason. It's a great scene. It's iconic.
The rest of the film? Perhaps a bit forgettable. It's just a bit all over the place. I don't have a problem with the non-linear way the story is told, or the acting, but the film's composition as a whole. Some shots seem wildly out of place (particularly the constant zooming in on the…

Moderately interesting if not for the fact that the twist is so easy to predict it's ridiculous. Which is a shame for a film hyped solely because of its twist ending.

Bei “The Usual Suspects” die Story im Detail zu verraten wäre unfair. Bryan Singers (X-Men, Superman Returns) zweiter Langfilm ist ein Film, der einfach von seinen überraschenden, aber immer schlüssigen, Wendungen lebt und der und der den Zuschauer am Ende mit einem offenen Mund den Abspann anschauen lässt.
Doch auch wenn man das Ende von “The Usual Suspects” bereits kennt funktioniert der Film. Singer gelingt es sein Werk so zu inszenieren, dass man einfach jedem Dialog immer und wieder lauschen…

A highly acclaimed and extremely popular film indeed, most of you would have seen it or atleast heard of it. What else?, most of you would like/love it. Now despite my rating I can understand why this would appeal to a large majority of film buffs and even to any "Popcorn" moviegoer. What's good about the film is the fact that it's an easy one to reccomend to anyone but ive seen this film twice now and I just dissagree…

A true masterpiece of crime thrillers. It's a story pieced together via a few characters and the roles they perform, do not take it lightly, you need to have all your senses alert or it's easy to get lost.
It's a movie that is not afraid to spend an unusual amount of time setting up a scene, for the scene merits it, and it rewards accordingly.
It's a great testament to the sound effect cues and dramatic soundtracks that defined the police movies of the 90's.
There aren't enough movies like this one these days.

An exciting, thrilling crime classic. The twist ending is still effective nowadays, and the ensemble is one of the tightest of the 90s.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

10/10. One of the greatest films ever made, and the greatest ending in cinema history. Kevin Spacy is mesmeric as blubbering invalid 'Verbal' Kint. Watch it ASAP, if you haven't already!

Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Spacey are always going to get all the credit for this movie, but you need to watch Benicio del Toro's performance. He is incredibly funny. And that's the thing: all 5 of them really do just act excellently. I could watch this over and over and it would never get old.
