Review of The Usual Suspects (1995) by Jacob B — 13 Aug 2013
A modern classic that I've seen more time than I care to remember. Although the thing that made it famous and beloved is the surprise twist at the end (one that you'll guaranteed to never forget), everything building up to it is a delight to watch.
The five thieving and scheming protagonists are all colorful and lively; the dialogue is sharp and even hilarious at times; and the writing is intelligent. Even the soundtrack and editing deserve special mentioning for their ability to stand out from the forgettable fare we usually hear and see.
If for nothing else, watch it for Kevin Spacey's performance.
