The Usual Suspects

An astonishing storyline, a great script and complete awe at finale!!! What else can be expected from a thriller? There are plenty of twist and turns in the movie to keep viewers on the edge of the seat. As said in the movie “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”; the whole movie can be summed up in above sentence. The name ‘Keyser Soze’ is not just a name, it’s Devil in itself. The name won’t leave you at least couple of days after watching the movie. The convoluted story line pops up something new every moment. On the other side such a convoluted plot keeps on puzzling and bothering you and that is what we want from a suspense thriller. The crippled criminal role which won Kevin Spacey an Oscar award was well deserved. The story most definitely is a non feel good type, but the end amazes everyone. Verbal’s stories and his narration of them were superb and after the finale scene, the two other best sequences of the movie were the narration of Keyser Soze’s story and penultimate scene of the movie where Cop finds the clues from the coffee mug and the white board and other objects. Just as an FYI, I’ve been to Skokie, IL. :-)

The only thing I can complain about is slow pace of movie at few instances. Overall, it’s a slick thriller with astonishing finish.
