Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

(ATTENTION! THIS REVIEW IS LONG)Bryan Singer really did it with this one. 'The Usual Suspects' may just be... the best crime film I have ever seen till this day.The actors were outstanding. It's like while watching the film, you always think that the character that they play is almost real. When I watched Kevin Spacey's performance, I nearly thought Verbal Kint was a real person. Same goes for the other actors, especially Chazz Palminteri (Kujan), Stephen Baldwin (McManus) and Kevin Pollak (Hockney). Honorable mention to Benicio Del Toro (Fenster) as well.For the people behind the scenes, focusing on Singer, Christopher McQuarrie (writer) and John Ottman (editor, composer), they all made the film into what I call, a near-perfect movie that will live longer than I think.Singer directed the film as if he had years of experience (when this is just his 2nd film after Public Access), and that's a huge compliment. Ottman edited the film with really amazing touches and him composing the film's theme as well as the entire soundtrack? He's gonna be really huge soon, as the theme still sticks into my head until this moment.Now, let's talk about McQuarrie. He was the one who came up with the whole concept of the movie, starting from just a visualization of five men in a lineup. To make this outstanding film from just that, McQuarrie's super talented when it comes to scripts and screenplays. And the ability to direct too, just like how he did in MI: Fallout recently.Lastly, the story. Super amazing, super thrilling and super twisty. Spoilers are warned. I have no clue that Kint (Spacey) was Keyser Söze. When Kujan tells us that Keaton was, already in my mind this is such a huge twist, but still questions come up: who really is Redfoot, Kobayashi and others beside what Kint just told? I thought usually, when the twist is revealed, it signifies the end of the film. But oh boy was I wrong. It was actually near the end, but to know that Kint made up the whole story as he talked, from words and phrases from Kujan's board, that was super crazy. He spontaneously made up the entire thing! When that came, I was super mind-blown and can't really accept that Kint was Söze all along. Now ladies and gentlemen, that's a twist. Huge applause to McQuarrie.That's it from me. Now by the end of this review, I think most of you reading this have watched the film as I put a spoiler warning before. True or false, will The Usual Suspects live?I think it will. Very much. 'The greatest trick that the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.' -Keyser Söze/Kint

It's good but not as expected, you can't give it 8-9 stars out of 10 , it's not that good. Neither it's bad. this movie deserves 7/10, neither less nor more. Bollywood movie Race (2008) is better than this ,it has better suspense.

If there is still someone in this world who hasn´t seen it yet, I recommend that you do so before someone reveals you the end...
