After years and years of people telling me to watch "The Usual Suspects" I finally got around to seeing this film.
The Usual Suspects is about a band of veteran, career thieves who are forced to do one more job together.
The cast (Kevin Spacey, Stephen Baldwin, Benicio Del Toro, Chazz Palminteri, Kevin Pollack and Pete Postlethwaite) is great and were all A-list actors at the time this film was made in 2005.
I enjoyed the film but I really wish I saw this film in 1995. The mid nineties saw a wave of these semi-artsey crime films (think Pulp Fiction) and back then a lot of the twists, turns and dialog were new and fresh. Watch the same films now and they seem cliche at times. That said, The Usual Suspects does have it's share of surprises.
The Usual Suspects is considered a crime-film classic by many and I do suggest you see it if you get a chance. The film may feel all too familiar at times but if you can keep in perspective that the film came out in the nineties and was one of the best crime flicks at the time, you'll appeciate this film.
Check it out.
