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.

An imaginative, entertaining crime mystery with plenty of nerve and vigor. Jun 18, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

If the pleasures of The Usual Suspects are the more superficial ones of ingenuity and style, those are abundantly available. The twists and turns of the plot are an awful lot of fun, while the ending is genuinely satisfying and surprising. Jun 18, 2013 | Full Review…

In a season of fat blockbusters, a picture as brainy, bitter, and compact as this one comes as a shock and a treat. Jun 18, 2013 | Full Review…

It's a nerve-shredding suspense movie about corruption, a bravura actor's show full of deliciously twisted cops and robbers, and a complex riddle packed with unexpected turns. Jun 18, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

For many true movie fiends, noir is the key American movie type, and the most fun when it's done right. The Usual Suspects is done right. Jan 18, 2013 | Full Review…

I didn't believe this story for a minute, even in movie terms -- though it's less offensive than a piece of junk like Apt Pupil, Singer's subsequent feature. Mar 28, 2011 | Full Review…

A film that was compelling enough with its intricate narrative and colorful cast of degenerates, became an entirely different beast with its final sequence, putting the twist in plot-twist more memorably than M. Night Shyamalan could ever dream of. Jun 19, 2019 | Full Review…

A movie where the getting-there (and the getting-away-with-it) is everything. Aug 10, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Singer, like Tarantino, is less into mining new film themes than in re-inventing old ones. And the way he does so shows full well that there is still a bit of life in the old mob movie yet. Jun 18, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It stands up brilliantly to repeat viewing, to the extent that you may never fully solve the riddle. But don't let that put you off; it's the ultimate whodunit. Jun 18, 2013 | Full Review…

It's a film that demands to be watched again and again -- this is good old-fashioned pulp fiction told in the slickest 1990s style. Jun 18, 2013 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Give director Bryan Singer credit for providing a plot that is not resolved by an exchange of gunfire, but don't expect the movie's glib punchline to stay with you for very long. Jun 18, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…
