Ever since this convoluted thriller dazzled audiences and critics in 1995 and won an Oscar for Christopher McQuarrie's twisting screenplay, The Usual Suspects has continued to divide movie lovers into opposite camps. While a lot of people take great pleasure from the movie's now-famous central mystery (namely, "Who is Keyser Söze?"), others aren't so easily impressed by a movie that's too enamored of its own cleverness to make much sense. After all, what are we to make of a final scene that renders the entire movie obsolete? Half the fun of The Usual Suspects is the debate it provokes and the sheer pleasure of watching its dynamic cast in action, led (or should we say, misled) by Oscar winner Kevin Spacey as the club-footed con man who recounts the saga of enigmatic Hungarian mobster Keyser Söze. Spacey's in a band of thieves that includes Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollak, and Benicio Del Toro, all gathered in a plot to steal a large shipment of cocaine. The story is told in flashback as a twisted plot being described by Spacey's character to an investigating detective (Chazz Palmintieri), and The Usual Suspects is enjoyable for the way it keeps the viewer guessing right up to its surprise ending. Whether that ending will enhance or extinguish the pleasure is up to each viewer to decide. Even if it ultimately makes little or no sense at all, this is a funny and fiendish thriller, guaranteed to entertain even its vocal detractors. --Jeff Shannon

The Usual Suspects movie is a bit obvious from the beginning who Keyser Soze is!(Kevin the communist chavez castro lover spacey)along with Benicio del Toro(Useful tool and che lover) the movie could have been better, I liked Kevin Pollack's performance, Even baldwin's.Chazz is Good. But the Movie isn't Genius. being called some type of Noir. what it is, is UN-Original. Now the movie is not Horrible, But certainly anybody with a brain could have figured out the ending.
 Worth Watching January 6, 2010
Josh Garcia (Premont, TX USA)
This was a movie I had never seen until recently stubbling upon it. You will be surprised by what transpires from start to finish. Like actors chosen for main cast but choose Kevin Spacey as most valuable actor in this film.
A nice little mystery December 28, 2009
C. Petit (Springfield, MA United States)
Spacey has concocted a nice little mystery. It flows nicely and keeps one's interest without overtaxing one's mental abilities. It is convoluted, and has a sort of Hitchcock style surprise ending, but doesn't really require your full attention, unless you try to out-sleuth the detectives trying to untangle the convolutions
MUST SEEE!!!! November 1, 2009
