Stream it now The Usual Suspects Reset Status Want to Watch Already Watched Don't Want to Watch

An all time, genre bending classic. Part mystery, part suspense, part action, with an all-star cast and superb script and directing. If you haven't seen it, then it needs to go to the top of your list. It's to simple to say that the story has a twist ending, because it is written to get you guessing the entire trip. Words alone can not simply define this one, it deserves to be watched.

One of the best films of all time. I seriously cannot believe this came out in 1995, since then every other movie I've watched has paled in comparison when it comes to the penultimate twist. Even movies with amazing twists like 'Fight Club' and '2001 A Space Oddysey' failed to surprise me as much as the ending of this movie. If you have not yet seen this movie, you simply have no excuse. This isn't just a cult phenominon like 'Pulp Fiction' but is one of the best directed, performed and produced movies to ever exist... and I do not say that lightly! There is not a single person who watches this film and doesn't feel seriously impressed. If you didn't like it, you must have not been concentrating enough to keep up.

10/10

Finally saw it on DVD this weekend. I was expecting to be wowed, but wasn't. Didn't really stand up to the likes of Pulp Fiction, LA Confidential or Reservoir Dogs - not to say the TUS was a bad movie - just not in the league of those other 3.

Was disappointed by the fact that I guessed who the real puppet master was pretty early on. I started thinking "Spacey's character's trying to be too invisible - I'll bet he's behind it all", and sure enough, he was. There's also a pretty big hole that wrecked the ending: Spacey supposedly went to all that trouble to kill the only person who could ID him. Trouble was, though he escaped in the end, once all was said & done there were LOADS of people who could ID him, including the cops, who'd have his pics, fingerprints and probably DNA on file. Not really a great plan on his part once you look at where it got him. Good movie - very entertaining - but not great.

I watched the PoA trailer for about 20 times, it rocks it really does, only the choir is annoying!!! I hope there won't be to much of it in the movie!!!!

Extremely well-written with an entrancing plot.

Wow... disregard that last post.

Great ensemble picture, on of my favorite crime movies of all time. Story and acting were superb.

This is a classic movie, which will definitely be in my top ten films if I ever get to putting it up. What's there to be said that already hasn't? Great screenplay, directing, and acting... A story with all sorts of twists and turns which doesn't reveal what's truly going on until the end, even then all of your questions aren't answered. I like the spooky feeling you get during it...

BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!

The Usual Suspects is my personal favorite movie, and if it isn't the best ever, it is without a doubt in the top five.
It won and deserved Original Screenplay (Christopher McQuarie), and Supporting Actor (Kevin Spacey) at the Oscars, and it should have also won picture over Braveheart.
