I finally saw this movie and it was awesome!!! I think what put the icing on the cake was Kevin Spacey... he played his character so well I think I'm gonna name my dog Verbal.

Any movie which has a n unpredictible ending has got to be great in this world of cliches. This movie it smart witty and a brain teaser if you like to be more than entertained for your money's worth. Kevin Specey...he is not my hero but in this movie he's the man.

I have seen this movie more than twenty times and could see it twenty times more! Besides the fact that this film has an incredible plot, a sharp script, expert direction, brilliant acting, and an awe-inspiriring score: let's not forget the editing! The roundup and the interrogation room scenes are a film editor's wet dream! And the last ten minutes of the movie was exhilerating! Especially that one shot of Kevin walking like a cripple and then walking normal! God, that was breathtaking!!!! This film won best original screenplay and best supporting actor for Kevin, but it deserved to win so much more!

This movie was so witty and clever. Kevin Spacey couldn't have done a better job at playing the part, and I can truly say, I did not waste ANY of my time, at ANY point in the movie. There wasn't one scene in which I was bored in. I was anxious to find out who the big bad guy was . :o)

My all time favoite suspense movie! Kevin Spacey is superb as Verbal Kint, a character you will never forget. And of course you can't ignore the Oscar caliber performance of Gabriel Byrne as Dean Keaton. The ending is one that can never be forgotten even by the most jaded of movie critics. A MUST SEE!

I am amazed. You all should have slept less in school. One: Determine point-of-view. Does the story have a narrator? Two: If so, is the narrator trustworthy? Three: Figure out the ending 15 minutes into the movie. The interminable credits and incoherent (and later replayed) carnage on the boat which begin the movie should have been completely cut. But the major insult comes near the end, when Verbal breaks down. Flashbacks from earlier in the storyline are used as evidence, and a red herring (an identifiable character dressed as Keyser Soze) is used to sway (no, there's a better word: instruct) audience opinion as to whodunnit. This image is, in fact, the only thing in the -entire movie- that COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. There's only one way to describe it: artistic dishonesty. So being, the 'final twist' is on the knife in the viewer's back.

I have never seen a thriller so amazing such as the Usual Suspects. It is a brilliant, well directed and well cinematically edited film. Kevin Spacey's performance is excellent and probably even one of his best. This film also contain some unforgivable phrases that are truely amazing. But the thing that is really extraordinary in this film is its astonishing ending, which is almost certainly the best ending ever. This is clearly a must-see film; even more than twice...

A very clever movie that actually makes you think - and keeps you guessing. Kevin Spacey is fantastic as Verbal and Pete Postlethwaite is at his usual high standard acting. The juxta postioning makes the suspense even greater and keeps your mind ticking over. My favourite part is the end where Verbal leaves and the policeman works the case out by looking at his noticeboard as everything that Verbal said was on there and you had the voiceover. Absolutely fantastic and a film to treasure.

The way the mystery comes unfolding slowly definitely makes the movie better. The characters are all unique in the way that you don't know what happens until the end and it is great.
Teeha 01/24/2001
This movie rocked! No one I knew guessed the ending correctly. Kevin Spacey is so talented in this movie.
Thorne 01/13/2001
This is a film lovers dream.Filled with nothing but great,professional performances by the entire cast,a beautiful score,master direction and not to mention one of the best if not the best mystery/suspence stories ever put to film. Kevin Spacy stands out with his Oscar winning portrayl of Verbal the crippled criminal. In this movie nothing is as it seems.You get just about everything action,suspense,comedy,mystery,drama. This is one of my favorite films and I garuntee you will love this film. Not a money back garuntee mind you. I don't work at a video store.
Frebeos 01/13/2001
This movie is amazing. The Dave Matthews and Baltimore Ravens of movies.
Nikefeesh 01/12/2001
One of Kevin Spacey's best roles ever. A movie that can keep me guessing the entire way through must be an amazing film. This is one of them.
ChrisK 01/09/2001
Perhaps Kevin Spacey's best, the Usual Suspects was an amazing movie. For a film filmed on a very low budget it was incredibly well done. The viewer is kept guessing throughout the movie, and the ending is perhaps one of the best of all time. Definitely one of the must-see movies of the 90's.
Demetrius 01/04/2001
This is a first rate film noir thriller. Gabriel Byrne shines as Dean Keaton, an ex-cop turned crook turned reformed businessman and Kevin Spacey is absolutely convincing as Verbal Kint. The story is engaging and brilliant. The ending will leave you in slack jawed as you rewind the tape to immediately see it again and again.
KEVBO821 01/02/2001
An absolute materpiece. Kaiser Socay is the greatest villian of all time.
ronnie 11/27/2000
In this movie I love how the main character is put in a tight squeeze and is able to manipulate the police by giving them an elaborate story that was totally made up using little details from around the interrogation room.
catfish 11/27/2000
The best movie out that year. The ending was a trip. Kevin made that movie great. You had to watch that movie over and over again. Great.
Katerbuggy 11/27/2000
I've never seen another movie quite like this one. It keeps you guessing the whole time and just when you think you've got it figured out everything changes. By far the best ending ever.
megatron 11/24/2000
Another classic. One of the best endings I've seen. Kevin Spacey has a breakthrough performance.
IamShawnieb 11/24/2000
This movie was very good. It had action, suspense and drama. Kevin Spacey rightfully earned an Oscar for his performance. The plot line is strong and will keep you wondering until the very end.
GSauce 11/24/2000
I saw this movie because all my friends were telling me to see it. This movie was awesome. Not only was the plot clean, but the characters were perfect for the movie. They did a great job at manipulating everything and making you think something else.
Legacy 11/24/2000
Started off slow and uninteresting. Good performances. The final ending was surprising and the best part of the movie. A classic mystery. Must watch all of the movie to understand.
Dahreed02 11/24/2000
My all time favorite movie. Kevin Spacey is amazing! Great story, plot, everything! All the acting is superb! The best movie ever!
yogi 11/21/2000
I saw this movie a bit back, but I remember that it had a great ending. The story kept me intact with the movie. I saw the movie on cable TV, so now I'm wondering when they will play it again.
spicypudding 11/21/2000
Kevin Spacey is the greatest actor, and he does some of his finest work in this movie. Thrilling AND action packed! It's great for everyone!
danderson 11/20/2000
This was the most boring movie, until the very end. The plot changed and it was a great movie.
KittyOneI 11/20/2000
A movie that makes you think. No formula here, excellent plot twist at the end. For those looking for the regular mix of gunplay and explosions, this movie won't disappoint.
CED1 11/20/2000
It was a very tricky movie. The end made it hard to know who did what. Who the hell was Keyser Soze?
reserviordog 11/17/2000
Kevin Spacey's best movie. He gives a better performance than in "Seven."
Bogart 11/17/2000
Great story. It kept you wondering who Keyser Soze was, and when he would show up. Great acting by everyone, especially Kevin Spacey.
stevied 11/16/2000
The Usual Suspects is a great movie that leaves you guessing throughout the whole movie. The ending is a total surprise and tricks the viewer. The movie all ties together at the end and proves to be a great action movie.
DjMystic 11/14/2000
If you know ANYTHING about movies than this is a cherished item. Excellent action, dialogue and the perfect amount of twists and turns. Just go out and buy this movie for God's sake.
quazi173 11/09/2000
This is my favorite Spacey film in that it really keeps you guessing until the end of the movie. The way the story unfolds is very unique and the character development is excellent.
ouchmypancreas 11/08/2000
Good movie! Good plot, good characters, good story. Great twists. Surprise ending(loved it). I didn't think I was going to like this movie. It was at someone's house so I watched it. I would watch it again, definitely.
mrmeth 11/07/2000
This movie had great suspense to it. I did not know where the movie was going and the ending was the great part of the movie. The way they had the guy walk off was great.
ctom 11/02/2000
Great acting. Variety of characters. Kevin Spacey performed well throughout the movie. Loved the twisted ending!
bigjherms 10/31/2000
Great story. Unexpected ending. The best twist in any movie I've ever seen!
notincguitmo 10/22/2000
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist". Kevin Spacey is GREAT.
alicat 06/20/2000
Kevin Spacey really got noticed in this movie as well as made it popular. The whole movie comes together in this amazingly unpredictable ending. The way the movie was told kept you completely immersed the whole time.
magellan 05/16/2000
Maybe we could all be a little more "Free-thinking" in this case. This movie was not all that - I mean it really dragged. So the ending was a little surprising - it takes more than that to be a good movie.
Munson 12/17/1999
That guy from free-thinking should be from not-thinking. Usual Suspects is a great movie with an incredible ending.
Wiggum 12/17/1999
Very good movie. Kevin Spacey gives a typically impressive performance.
Ruby 12/17/1999
I know I'll be in the minority here but I thought this movie was boring. I swear, I rented it twice and fell asleep twice before the so-called amazing ending.
