Review of The Usual Suspects (1995) by Swati — 31 Oct 2013

Does not waste any time at all. Every minute is utilized to set up suspense and action. And when we reach the climax, everything suddenly becomes ambiguous. You are not sure about what really happened, just about the things that matter the most.

Kevin Spacey acts splendidly. The first time I watched it the plot twist at the end made me a fan of the movie. But not so much on the second viewing after a gap of eight years. Frankly, apart from the awesome ending, it wasn't a very great script_ just a nicely plotted crime thriller but not very special.

But I truly believe that everyone should watch it at least once, and don't talk about it before doing that because some smart-ass may spoil it for you.
