I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It was better than i expected. Mind games, betrayals among friends and being a fox... honestly, i started to watch this movie just like the other movies, without expecting a single thing but when it flows you're flowing with the movie too.

As "Agent10" wrote on his/her review: "Not enough good things to say". Overall, a must for every lover of thriller, crime, mistery genres.Acting is great and can't be described with words. You believe everyone; you suspect everyone.Masterpiece!

This movie was released a long ago but the viewers who are born in the late 90's may find the plot of the story obvious, I personally after seeing so many suspense movies knew from the first sight of kevin spacey in the movie that he's not the innocent, showing him as a cripple and portraying him as an innocent man would really give him away, but I have no other complains from this movie as it is well executed with great acting from all the actors. If I liked something in the movie it would be how kevin spacey used the information in the investigation room to build up his own story,that's rather smart for a cripple.

'The Usual Suspects' is carried by it's clever writing (by that I don't only mean it's twist ending) and star studded talented cast. It's one of those films (like 'Sixth Sense') that doesn't have the same impact in second viewing. Although very wittily written 'The Usual Suspects' still relies too much on it's final big reveal. When you take that away, you are only left with entertaining cat and mouse heist film with amazing performances. Shallow, but fun. Although Kevin Spacey was the only one nominated (and he also won) for Academy Award, the rest of the cast were equally strong. No one shined out - I guess that shows Bryan Singer's talent directing a movie with such cast.Again, once the big twist is known, the film loses too much of it's impact, but it is still so well written and acted that it leaves most such crime films far behind.
