Review of The Usual Suspects (1995) by Kelly B — 18 Sep 2012
One of the most densely plotted mysteries, Ultimately, The Usual Suspects may be too clever for its own good. The twist at the end is a corker, but crucial questions remain unanswered. What's interesting, though, is how little this intrudes on our enjoyment.
After the movie you're still trying to connect the dots and make it all fit and these days, how often can we say that. The film's coup de grace is as elegant as it is unexpected. The whole movie plays back in your mind in perfect clarity and turns out to be a completely different movie to the one you've been watching.
