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 Soeze?"), 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 Soeze. 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

 Looking For Something Different? Check This Film Out! November 12, 2008

Before I offer any analysis of "The Usual Suspects", I would first like to say that (as is well know by now) the film has perhaps the most mind-blowing ending in the history of American Cinema. I have long been a fan of movies with endings that are shockers (The Sixth Sense and The Others stand out as favorites), but this movie took it to an entirely new level.
I won't give away the ending here, but I will say that this film follows a narrative pattern such that guessing the "big reveal" is difficult, as information is revealed in flashbacks, thus getting more complex as the story continues. However, many other Amazon reviewers have said that, after repeated viewings (I have only seen the film once), it IS possible to somewhat predict what is going to happen.
I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this movie, but I knew I was not a fan of gangster/crime films, so I was a bit leery. However, the story is so expertly crafted that one (myself included!) completely forgets that the main characters are criminals and instead focuses on the plot twists and turns.
So, I would highly recommend this film to two categories of viewers: First, those of you like me who have never seen this classic film until "now" and are wondering what all the buzz is about, you won't be disappointed. Second, those of you who love surprise endings (even if you aren't too keep on cop/police dramas) will obsess over this film for weeks or months after viewing!
Appreciate honesty and good business! November 11, 2008
My money was refunded, the seller sent me an email telling me that he felt that the movie was not of good quality and did not feel comfortable sending it.
 Half clever & rather ridiculous. October 10, 2008

Look, Mr. Super Criminal ("Soze") walks free smoking a cig at the end and we're supposed to think oh what a scary winner he is ...and he gets even with everybody..what a man.--However, aside from the fact that Soze has no friends and never will, some rich executives in the Carolinas have LEGALLY screwed him well and Soze is too dumb to know it.--I mean of course the cigarettes he buys from the tobacco companies and the heart disease/cancer he probably has.--The shareholders of Philip Morris Corp. must have laughed their butts off if they watched this. In addition, as many have already said, Soze blew his identity at the end, which cancels what he had supposedly been trying to do.
One surprise after another. I could never guess what's happening next, especially the ending. No wonder it got 2 Ocars in 1996 September 15, 2008

It contains one surprise after another. I could never guess what's happening next, especially the ending.
If you like a different story with unexpected turns. This is a MUST-SEE.
The ony trouble is after you watch it once, the second time is not as suspenseful any more because you already know what's happening.
No wonder it got 2 Ocars in 1996. One was given to Christopher McQuarrie for best screenplay. The other was given to Kevin Spacey for best supporing actor.
