An Unusually Good Film
I'm usually very wary of films with a "mind-bending twist" at the end of the film, as they tend to be manipulative and misleading throughout, only to be told at the end that what you saw wasn't REALLY what you saw. Another close instance of "bad" filmmaking is when a character wakes up to find out that everything we've just witnessed was a dream. You feel cheated, and it's become a tired cliche when a suitable ending can't be found. Fortunately, this was not the case with The Usual Suspects, and even in subsequent views, the film holds up under close scrutiny and doesn't lose any of its verve. Worthy of all the accolades heaped upon it, DEFINITELY watch this film sometime in your life, preferably before someone ruins it for you.
