Usual Suspects is one of the finest neo-noir movies ever made and remains a cult film as I see it ...Bryan Singer's direction is superlative at the onset with the characters perfectly etched for the set of 5 actors.
Hockney, McManus,Keaton,Fenster,and Verbal .... (in the same order as the picture)
The movie is all about a boat hijacking event happening for cocaine deal. These 5 convicts after moving out of jail are forced to execute the hijacking by a shadow boss a la' Keyser Söze .
The movie unravels the event in the form of an interrogation between a NYPD cop and Verbal , who escaped the boat catastrophe!!!
The script of the film packing everything into a 1:45 min reel deserves an ovation...Kevin Spacey as Verbal won the best supporting actor academy for his role and I am not surprised at all not taking anything away from the other actors playing their parts...
Verdict : What can I say for a movie ranked at 20 in the all time list of hollywood flicks!
Rating :5.0/5.0
