“Psycho” (1960) delivers an unexpected finish, no one can argue against it. But “The Usual Suspects” brings this ending twist to a new level. The entire movie leads you in one direction and then in the last scene of the movie you realise that the entire story being told was wrong. It is like a punch in the stomach.
A great set of actors with an amazing script on their hands. It is an instant masterpiece.
Watch it and you will spend the next week thinking about it.
By the way there is a line in “Casablanca” (1942) that goes: “Round up the usual suspects”. Is there any connection between these two facts? Who knows? I like to think there is one.
Rating: 9/10
