The Usual Suspects

Post by Mike »

This was a twisty and turny crime caper. The story is told from a crippled crook on a ?91 million pound robbery.

I can not tell a great deal about this story line because it would be very wrong to give out the details of the plot. Loved the last scene though it was a very good twist and I just loved Kevin Spacey acting!

Top Bananas!

Now watch it again and tell me if it's as fun...I would actually give it four stars, as it loses replay value pretty quickly. Some nice acting/funny bits, though.

I personally liked it when I watched it again and I've once watched it numerous times in a week for analysis for a uni module called 'Beyond Books' where we looked at the narrative of the novel/script. It is really interesting when you analyse it like that and takes the film on to a whole new level. It is because of that that I say

And a future classic of modern cinema.

P.S. I thought Spacey was exceptionally cool in this film.

Spacy was way cool in this film, I really enjoyed it. I suspect that you are right, once you know the punchline the joke, or in this case the film becomes less appealing.
