The Usual Suspects Review

The usual suspects is a film about drug dealing, the group of people that the film is based around are hired to do 'jobs' for people who are mostly in the drug business.it starts with a police line-up which appears completly random. When all five of these people are suddenly aproached by a 'lawyer' respresenting a mysterious man, who has a made a name for being very dangerous and very powerful, yet no one knows if this man really exists.
These five people are hired by the mysterious man to go aboard a boat carrying drugs and stop it, steal the money and run, the job is worth $91 million.
Something goes wrong though, there is no drugs, and suddenly this mysterious man who hired these people appears and starts killing.

This film is very cleverly put together and directed (by Bryan Singer), the film is a bit confusing and makes you think. This film is one of my favorites, the way that most of the film is a police interview, and the end that is considered one of the best twist plots in film history make this film one of the best.

Kevin Spacey is the main character bringing his acting into the film, and giving it that certain quality that makes it good. The directors clever slotting of everything together to make it make sense in the end giving the film the characteristics of a cleverly made in depth film.
