The Usual Suspects
This is a very good, entertaining film made by the talented Bryan Singer. It combines stylish cynicism, excellent acting and memorable photography. The plot is quite original and features five characters who are proper anti-heroes. They are all career criminals, thieves and probably worse but they are also posed as individualists with humor and courage, which has the effect of making them likable. This perception is aided by the portrayal of law enforcement officers as either corrupt, violent or just plain dumb. One exception to this is Giancarlo Esposito as Jack Baer, FBI. Although he only has a small role he at least gets to act less like a gorilla wearing a tie and more like a real cop. The film spins around a central premise, who is Keyser Soze? Well unless you're visiting from Mars you probably know the identity of the utterly ruthless super-criminal with near limitless power, but this film has so much going for it that you should still enjoy the ride. It is a near perfect ensemble cast but my favorite has to be Benicio Del Toro as the barely comprehensible but completely cool Fenster.
This film should have won Best Picture in 1995. I don't know which film did win, but it wasn't as good as this!!!!!. You cannot predict the plot, you cannot predict the outcome, and you are drawn out of yourself and into the story for the entire duration of the film. One to own.

the truth in this film isn't just plain and simple, that's why I like i so much, because it is extremely provocative! What ever ending/conclusion we are happy with or think is most likely we keep in the back of our heads, for wider knowledge and understanding of the film
But, it would be safest to assume that Verbal Kint is Kaiser Soze, because I feel that if we stick to this ending that we all know, the film has most credibility like this, plus the fact that some answers remain outside the film makes it even more incredible!
There are various degrees of truth as well as lots of possibilities, as long as they/that is acknowledged and that aspect is appreciated by fans, we as the audience have gone about the film the right way and the film has done it's job correctly! But yes everyone, it is safe to say, for arguements sake that: Verbal Kint is Soze!

I predicted the outcome pretty early in the movie, I didn't see anything all that great about this movie. It's just a good crime drama with a simple twist.

The Usual Suspects is absolutely brilliant!- although the ending was a complete surprise to me, it really did my head in.
