Title: The end does not make the film
Review: For all those who were able to predict the end of the film while watching it I'm glad you're smarter than the rest of us. The first time I saw The Usual Suspects I walked in at the end and had the surprise ruined before I ever got a chance to see the film.That did not reduce my love for this movie at all. The beauty comes from the subtle way Verbal manipulates his way through tough situations. Most of the movie's finer touches, like the way Verbal smokes his cigarette in the American style while in the police station and European style when he is alone do not become obvious until you know the truth.Rarely have I come across a film that immerses you in another world so completely I get the same feeling from this film that I do from Casablanca.
Is the review positive or negative?
