Summary: Looking For Something Different? Check This Film Out!
Comment: Before I offer any analysis of "The Usual Suspects", I would first like to say that (as is well know by now) the film has perhaps the most mind-blowing ending in the history of American Cinema. I have long been a fan of movies with endings that are shockers (The Sixth Sense and The Others stand out as favorites), but this movie took it to an entirely new level.
I won't give away the ending here, but I will say that this film follows a narrative pattern such that guessing the "big reveal" is difficult, as information is revealed in flashbacks, thus getting more complex as the story continues. However, many other Amazon reviewers have said that, after repeated viewings (I have only seen the film once), it IS possible to somewhat predict what is going to happen.
I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this movie, but I knew I was not a fan of gangster/crime films, so I was a bit leery. However, the story is so expertly crafted that one (myself included!) completely forgets that the main characters are criminals and instead focuses on the plot twists and turns.
So, I would highly recommend this film to two categories of viewers: First, those of you like me who have never seen this classic film until "now" and are wondering what all the buzz is about, you won't be disappointed. Second, those of you who love surprise endings (even if you aren't too keep on cop/police dramas) will obsess over this film for weeks or months after viewing!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Appreciate honesty and good business!
Comment: My money was refunded, the seller sent me an email telling me that he felt that the movie was not of good quality and did not feel comfortable sending it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Half clever & rather ridiculous.
Comment: Look, Mr. Super Criminal ("Soze") walks free smoking a cig at the end and we're supposed to think oh what a scary winner he is ...and he gets even with everybody..what a man.--However, aside from the fact that Soze has no friends and never will, some rich executives in the Carolinas have LEGALLY screwed him well and Soze is too dumb to know it.--I mean of course the cigarettes he buys from the tobacco companies and the heart disease/cancer he probably has.--The shareholders of Philip Morris Corp. must have laughed their butts off if they watched this. In addition, as many have already said, Soze blew his identity at the end, which cancels what he had supposedly been trying to do.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One surprise after another. I could never guess what's happening next, especially the ending. No wonder it got 2 Ocars in 1996
Comment: It contains one surprise after another. I could never guess what's happening next, especially the ending.
If you like a different story with unexpected turns. This is a MUST-SEE.
The ony trouble is after you watch it once, the second time is not as suspenseful any more because you already know what's happening.
No wonder it got 2 Ocars in 1996. One was given to Christopher McQuarrie for best screenplay. The other was given to Kevin Spacey for best supporing actor.

Editorial Reviews:

Winner of two 1995 Academy Awards(r), including Best Original Screenplay, this masterful, atmospheric film noir enraptured audiences with its complex and riveting storyline, gritty, tour-de-force performances (including an Oscar(r)-winning* turn by Kevin Spacey) and a climax that is truly deserving of the word stunning. Also starring Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri, Kevin Pollak and Pete Postlethwaite, this 'thoroughly engrossing film (HBO) is so gripping and diabolically clever (The Wall Street Journal) that it becomes a maze you'll be happy to get lost in (Los Angeles Times)! Held in an L.A. interrogation room, Verbal Kint attempts to convince the feds that the mythic crime lord not only exists, but was also responsible for drawinghim and his four partners into a multi-million dollar heist that ended with an explosion in San Pedro Harborleaving few survivors. But as Kint lures his interrogators into the incredible story of this crime lord's almost supernatural prowess, so too will you be mesmerized by a lore that is completely captivating from beginning to end! *1995: Supporting Actor
