The Usual Suspects

Golly, what a movie. I had seen this film once before a few years back, but I couldn’t really remember anything about it. I can’t understand why, because this movie is wonderful. Every part of it is so intricately woven together through cinematography, writing, and acting. It’s so well paced, with no scene dragging on or feeling irrelevant. Kevin Spacey (yuck!) and Gabriel Byrne and particular really blew this boat out of the water with their performances. The writing is wonderful, dropping banger lines in between colorful dialogue and narration. Sound was great. And the set design! Seriously so good, every area they went to served its purpose while also making you think to yourself, “did they seriously blow a boat up for this movie?” It’s actually such an amazing movie that I highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it before. It’s got one of the best endings I’ve ever seen. 5/5: There is a poster in my basement of my dad photoshopped into the movie poster with some of his colleagues. I wish I could attach it here because it’s beautiful.
