The Usual Suspects Review

.My next review will be on the Film "The Usual Suspects"

Background information: Thriller, Drama film, Crime film

Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay

Directed by: Bryan Singer

Main cast: Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, and Stephen Baldwin.

Released: 1995

Plot: The film follows the interrogation of Roger "Verbal" Kint, a small-time con man who is one of only two survivors of a massacre and fire on a ship docked at the Port of Los Angeles. He tells an interrogator a convoluted story about events that led him and his partners in crime to the boat, and about a mysterious mob boss known as Keyser Söze who commissioned their work. Using flashback and narration, Kint's story becomes increasingly complex.

Acting: 9/10: I loved the acting in this film. Whoever casted the characters did a great job. Kevin Spacey really did deserve the oscar for this movie. The way he tells the whole story makes it so believable and you have to love the way he says the quote "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist".  In my opinion it may have been his best performance ever.

Rating: 9/10 The writing in this film is really incredible. It just may have been the greatest ending of all time.

Would I recommend it? Definitely I would. In my opinion this is one of the greatest drama films of all time.
