Cover of 'The Usual Suspects"



For me.. it's one word: Brilliant.


I mean.. everything about the movie is great. The actors, especially Kevin Spacey and Stephen Baldwin, were superb. The plot is intriguing, and is unexpected. It has a great twist to the story. The art direction of the film is also great. It's really one of the best detective films i've ever seen. The movie is really intense, and always keeps us guessing who actually is "Keyser Soze"? And also, Gabriel Bryne is really convincing as the reluctant ex-cop.. you could see the dilenma in his actions and eyes.



Plot: Following a truck hijack in New York, five conmen are arrested and brought together for questioning. As none of them is guilty, they plan a revenge operation against the police. The operation goes well, but then the influence of a legendary mastermind criminal called Keyser Söze is felt. It becomes clear that each one of them has wronged Söze at some point and must pay back now. The payback job leaves 27 men dead in a boat explosion, but the real question arises now: Who actually is Keyser Söze?


Oh my.. Kevin Spacey is such a quality actor. He plays the movie with his eyes, and can really play bad guys well as he can naturally speak in such a cold-blooded tone.


Left is Gabriel Bryne, portraying Keaton. Also wonderful.


Pete Postlethwaite plays Kobayashi, a Japanese lawyer representing Keyser Soze. He has a really scary and intense glare.


Lastly, Chazz Palminteri, playing Dave Kujan, lead detective in the case.


Awards: Won 2 Oscars. Another 22 wins & 7 nominations
Imdb rating: 8.7 ( IMDB TOP 250 #22)


So hope you guys can watch it if you can.
