The Usual Suspects





The Usual Suspects


In a world where nothing is what it seems you've got to look beyond...






Plot:

Police investigating an exploded boat on a San Pedro pier discover 27 bodies and $91 million worth of drug money. The only survivors are a severely burned and very scared Hungarian terrorist and Verbal Kint, a crippled con-man. Reluctantly, Kint is pressurised into explaining exactly what happened on the boat. His story begins six weeks earlier with five criminals being dragged in by New York police desperate for suspects on a hijacked truck and ends with the possible identification of a criminal mastermind.

Review:

This movie is a genuine classic. It should be in every viewer's colletion. This tale of one man's witness to a drug deal gone wrong, setup of 5 criminals and interwaeving of events will keep the viewer on the edge of thier seat. The plot twist is sudden and unexpected. There is no real way to guess what it would be. You better pay attention. I give this film a 9.
