This last week we viewed The Usual Suspects, for me this was the first time viewing the film. My first reaction to the film was how good and well written the story was. Than the acting by Kevin Spacey was truly brilliant, the role is very complex that Spacey plays. Early in the film I got the notion that there was more to the Character than what I was seeing. Everything that he was saying seem to very well thought out and portrayed himself of having a shuttle genius about him. Yet his calmness and calculated comments drove the authorities crazy.
Spacey is not only a main character in the film but he also narrates the story. Which ads great eliminate of the story telling to the film. It brings additional depth to the story and it allows really unfold with nicely with twist that keep you think about where is this going and eventually who is Kiser Sosa. My favorite scene is Kujan is commenting messy Sgt. Rabin desk is and he tells that it has a system to you have to step back from it to appreciate it. As he starts to take a more broad look we realizes that the man he has been looking for just limped out of his office, as he comes the that moment a just love the slow motion drop of the coffee cup for dramatic effect.
This is a most see if you like a good dramatic movie with great twist keeping you on the edge of your seat with a well written and well told story.
That was also my first time seeing the movie and I have to say your favorite scene is also mine. I really enjoyed watching him finally put the pieces together and realize that Verbal's story was made up.
