I was flicking through the channels quite late at night last night and I saw a film called 'The Usual Suspects' on at 1.30. I had heard from lots of people that this film was brilliant, but still had to experience it myself.

So I turned on Sky Movies 4 or something, I can't really remember and I started watching. It made no sense at the start but I really enjoyed the shootouts and the rumour about Kaiser Sauzee (sp?) and why everyone was so scared of him. I thought the gay guy was really funny, especially when he was making the rest of the suspects laugh at the famous board.

I thought the film was average until the final ten minutes. The bit where the guy drops his coffee and finds out the Verbal was just making up a load of crap to get away is genius. Everything that he had made up to get out was up on the board behind the guy. From the bit in Guatemala to Redfoot, it was truly outstanding how clever he was. What made it even better is because the guy kept saying things like 'I'm smarter than you' or 'You are a stupid cripple' but Verbal was cleverer in the end. It is thanks to that, that 'The Usual Suspects' is one of my all-time favourite films now.

Which left me on one final thought, were Kaizer Sauzee and the gang and all the other people made up? If so, what was the film about? I don't want you to answer these questions I just want you to discuss the film.

So, have any of you seen it? If so, what did you think of it?

Is that sarcasm?

Because I watched Pulp Fiction when I was 10/11 and I thought it was rubbish... I now know it is amazing.

I know but you would never suspect Verbal right until the end, that's why I loved the film.

The line up is brilliant and so are the interviews with the police.

Kevin Spacey's character is Keyser Soze, or at least that's what we're led to believe. That's why the fax from the Hungarian survivor of the boat bomb (the guy in the hospital bed) showed a picture of Verbal.

Top quality film, one of my favourites too.
