It's the best damn film ever, and i don't mean that lightly. If you haven't seen this film, then you don't matter to me until you have. I won't go into much detail, but all you have to know is that it's the best crime thriller of the past decade (strange to think it's seven years old already) and it has one of the best endings you'll ever see in your life - forget hokey 'twist' endings like Sixth Sense, this ending will surprise you and the film does become a totally different flick the second time around.
The extras are cool too, there's a whole load of featurettes on the actors and the director, Bryan Singer, plus a gag reel and a special section on Keyser Soze himself, including lots of interesting revelations about the shadowy crime lord. For example, it seems more than a few of the actors thought they were Soze (Gabriel Byrne argued for 30 mins in a car park with Singer when he found out the ending), everyone kept forgetting what his name was ("There is no Seyser Koze") and the real meaning of the name - Keyser = German for 'King', Soze Turkish for 'Talk Too Much'. Sound familiar?
All of the acting is top notch, but performances from Byrne and Spacey stand high above the rest. Benicio Del Toro, as the mumbling Fenster, steals every scene he's in (the other actors all thought his accent was a joke, until he persisted to do it in every scene) and even BioDome's Stephen Baldwin puts in a good performance as the psychotic mcManus. So, the film's great, the extras are fantastic, what more do you want? Okay, I'll let you in on a secret - the infamous line-up scene on the movie posters and the box covers was not the most professional of the movie. Del Toro sums it up by saying "Let's just say somebody farted." Now try watching it with a straight face.

I think the usual suspects is a good film, and I'll probably get it on DVD soon, but i thought the way of the gun was better.
Sorry, but the ending was damn obvious. The film was ok, nothing amazing. I could probably do with watching it again as I missed the first 10 mins when I did see it.
I figured the ending out about half an hour from the end. It wasn't a suprise at all.
If you want a good ending, go see Arlington Road.

This film sucked balls.
Really, it did.
I saw it at the cinema and within 45 mins everyone was chatting about other stuff, and I mean everyone in the cinema.
And not one person said "Can you be quiet please".
And a total Reservoir Dogs ripp-off ending "Oooh, the injured/cripple guy! Well I never!..."
Gabriel Byrne mumbled worse than Del Toro (only good bit about this film) and the whole thing stank like ass.
But that's just my opinion.

Bryan Singer did end of days? Surely not.

Hmm, that was in End Of Days too, directed by the same guy who did Usual Suspects. It also had Gabriel whats his name and another guy from it in

The first time I heard about this film was when it came on to skymovies, agggeeeeeeeees ago when sky digital didn't exist and we had a new-fangled satellite dish. Except we didn't bloody have sky movies so I watched the trailer on sky one about a million times and waited for it to go terrestrial.
Then finally when I was 15 it was on channel 4 as part of the filmfour preview season. And my entire class was swept with Usual Suspects quoting. Those were the days...
"What? You got a team of monkeys working on this?"
"Back when I was picking coffee beans in guatemala.."
"Knock, knock can anyone hear me at back? "What'd he say" "I say I'll flip yo. Flip yo for real."
"Old MacDonald had a farm ee-ei-ee-ei-o
And on that farm he... shot some guys
badda bing, badda bing bang BOOOOMMM!!!"
"Lassima Keser Soze!"
"How d'you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"
"The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist."
"And my guess is you'll never hear from him again"
on and on like Ariston.
Listen to Snuggly this film rules.

"this ending will surprise you and the film does become a totally different flick the second time around."
No it won't, because every always talks about the ending, and it was spoofed in Scary Movie
I've known it for years, and I haven't even seen the film. But I may get it on DVD now that it's out on special edition
