      Critics Consensus

      Expertly shot and edited, The Usual Suspects gives the audience a simple plot and then piles on layers of deceit, twists, and violence before pulling out the rug from underneath.

      Manohla Dargis Spin Singer has an obvious grasp of craft, but it's far less clear whether he has anything to say about movies, violence, the world, or his place in the world. Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald The Usual Suspects flirts with greatness but attempts too much. It's a fascinating failure. Rated: 2/4 Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Doug Thomas Seattle Times An imaginative, entertaining crime mystery with plenty of nerve and vigor. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 18, 2013 Full Review Todd James Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) The end of this movie doesn't justify the means as director Bryan Singer takes his audience on a cat and mouse chase that never finds its way. Rated: 2/5 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a perpetually engrossing endeavor that benefits from its myriad of above-average, inherently spellbinding attributes... Rated: 4/4 Jan 9, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy With one Internet to rule them all, it's hard for most folks to avoid cinematic spoilers of yore (whether it's the sled in Citizen Kane or the penis in The Crying Game), but even knowing the answer shouldn't spoil this film's myriad other pleasures. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 7, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Geir E Surprised to see much mixed reviews! This is a classic of american 90s cinema - recommend all movie interested persons to watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Mido K When you talk about plot twist Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Webb H It's got a great cast and solid storytelling, but the ending becomes sort of obvious, which really lessens the impact Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Nathan W I'm not gonna lie... I didn't love this movie. The storytelling was very non linear and a little hard to follow. I thought the casting choices were, shall we say, unusual. Definitely not a group of actors I would ever expect to see in leading roles together. The writing was fine but I ultimately found it lacking in suspense. The ending wasn't all that difficult to see coming which kind of ruins the whole thing. While not a bad movie, I think this one is wildly overrated. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Vladan A I loved it. It was enterntaining from start to finish and I highly recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Aidan B Plot twist was fairly predictable, though overall, "The Usual Suspects" is an absolutely fantastic film with great performances and entertaining sequences throughout that keep you on the edge of your seat. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
