Movie #44 -- The Usual Suspects

Title: The Usual Suspects

Director: Bryan Singer

Release Year: 1995

Plot Summary: Who is Keyser Soze?

Thoughts: The best crime drama ever. Period. Better than The Godfather. Better than The Godfather Part 2. Better than Reservoir Dogs. It's just that good.

Kevin Spacey won an Oscar for his performance of Verbal Kint, a criminal with cerebral palsy. This film also took home the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and rightly so. The casting is fantastic, even (gasp) Stephen Baldwin is terrific. This, along with Braveheart, was one of only two classic films released in 1995. This is not one to be missed.

The ending of this film is one of the top five endings of all time... Think or The Empire Strikes Back or Arlington Road ending good.

Rating (0-10): 9.3

Recomendations: Buy this film. It's usually $15 at Best Buy and it's worth every penny.
