The Usual Suspects

This movie has everything I need one to have. It has mystery, suspense, action, great performances, an incredibly unique and original plot, and a twist for the ages. In all honesty this movie is perfect for me. The cast gives it their all and every single performance is exactly what it needed to be. The 5 main characters are all different and unique in their own way so the movie never feels boring. I can't believe that this twist was spoiled for me because of Scary Movie of all things. Really disappointed once I realized where it was going because of that. I love a good twist and I think this movie would have hit even harder for me if I didn't figure it out halfway through. That being said it is still an amazing film that kept me glued to the screen for its entirety. The fact that this movie does so much in under 2 hours is genuinely so impressive. This is a rare situation where I actually wouldn't have been upset if the movie was longer. All the characters were so easy to connect with and I just can't help but think what another 15 minutes to the movie would've added. An absolute masterpiece from Singer and this absolutely lives up to all the hype.
