I'm too tired and a little too drunk but there needs to be an official The Usual Suspects thread.

This is the greatest thing I've accomplished today.

Actually, this might be my greatest life accomplishment.

Mediocre to the core. Movies built around a twist tend to not be very good.

there is some amazing dialouge in this movie. even discounting the entire plot...come on lines like this:

Dave Kujan: Do you know a dealer named Ruby Deamer, Verbal?
Verbal: Do you know a religious guy named John Paul?
Dave Kujan: Did you know Ruby's in Attica?
Verbal: He didn't have my lawyer.

Fenster: They treat me like a criminal. I'll end up a criminal.
Hockney: You are a criminal.
Fenster: Why you gotta go and do that? I'm trying to make a point.

Keaton: His name is Verbal. Verbal Kint.
McManus: Verbal?
Keaton: Yeah.
Verbal: Roger, really. People say I talk too much.
Hockney: Yeah, I was just gonna tell you to shut up.

Only if you know ahead of time that "there's going to be a big twist", or even worse, if someone has already told you what it is.

I'm not saying it's Citizen Kane, but it's got a great cast and some snappy dialogue. Worth owning for sure.

ok, now I'm depressed.
I enjoyed watching this movie and knew nothing of the twist at the end, I also thought it was one of only a few Kevin Spacey movies that he was outstanding in.

My favorite movie with my favorite actor, Kevin Spacey. I love it. Gabriel Byrne is also great in this movie. Kevin just owns though even though the whole cast does very well.

I didn't know much of anything about it before I watched it. Didn't change its meh-ness.

Verbal: Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze.
