Watch The Usual Suspects For Free

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This movie was released a long ago but the viewers who are born in the late 90's may find the plot of the story obvious, I personally after seeing so many suspense movies knew from the first sight of kevin spacey in the movie that he's not the innocent, showing him as a cripple and portraying him as an innocent man would really give him away, but I have no other complains from this movie as it is well executed with great acting from all the actors. If I liked something in the movie it would be how kevin spacey used the information in the investigation room to build up his own story,that's rather smart for a cripple.

"The Usual Suspects" launched Kevin Spacey's carreer into stardom instantly. He won an oscar for his magnificent role, but the story itself is the true star of this movie. Not many stories have had this influence and power over the imagination of the public as "The Usual Suspects" has had. It is intriguing till the very end. And when the plot is revealed at the end, it is chillingly exciting and satisfying to find out the truth. In a poll on IMDb, the movie was voted as having the best plot twist, beating out The Sixth Sense (1999). Kevin Spacey had to read the script twice when he first received it, to make sure he fully understood it.It is an intelligent movie, made on a shoestring budget back then. Shot in only 35 days. That's truly minimal. It had gotten only a limited release in America, because it wasnt expected to do very well. How wrong could they have been! Never underestimate the intelligence of the audience. This is one of those movies that grew bigger and more popular long after its release, just by word of mouth reviews.I had to watch this movie at least 3 times before I really understood HOW I was being tricked into NOT knowing who the mysterious crimeboss Kayser Soze was. That trick is pulled off very simple. But the most clever cons are often the simplest ones. What is this fascinating story about? Without giving away any spoilers I can safely tell you that Kayser Soze is a mysterious crimeboss who no one has ever seen, but who every criminal fears. In this story Kayser Soze orders 5 criminals to do a heist on a docked ship in the harbor, which is full of cocaine. The criminals refuse at first, but they are blackmailed into doing the heist anyway. Will the 5 crinminals survive the heist on the ship? And who is Kayser Soze anyway? Reading my own written synopsis of the story above I must confess it doesnt sound mysterious at all. Sounds rather childish. But wait till you'll see the movie, which really has had an immense power to fascinate audiences worldwide. Acting is great! Debut of Benicio del Toro. Superb role of Gabriel Byrne and Chaz Palminteri. Photography and editing are masterful. Soundtrack is mysterious. And the direction by Brian Singer was just pure excellence. Writer Cristopher McQuarrie got an oscar. But both director and writer went on to make only mediocre action movies after this first huge succes at the beginning of their careers. Well at least they gave us this mysterious gem, which I must have seen over 20 times by now and I still get a kick out of it. What a thrill of a mystery!

The Year was 1995, I was stuck on a cruise ship "the sea was angry that night my friend" The TV in our cabin had 1 channel and was playing 1 movie on a loop; "The Usual Suspects" I grew impatient as the movie was slow to develop, but was soon rewarded with the Best ending to a Movie Ever! -Keyser Söze Lives!!2 Oscars

Very few movies are "must-see" for aspiring filmmakers and screenwriters, but this is one of them. The final five minutes are among the best in cinema. Both Bryan Singer and Kevin Spacey are not decent individuals, and I have a hard time separating their actions from the work, but in respect to all the other people who worked on this film, it needs to be seen.
