Blu-ray Reviews of The Usual Suspects [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Bad Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I am 67 years old and have seen lots of movies over the years. I don't consider myself a "prude", but as long as movies like this one are made the public will buy them and that is a crying shame. It makes a horrible example to young people and older people as well because the language is horrible (and to my way of thinking is not necessary).
To my way of thinking also, it was a ridiculous movie.
Blu-ray Review: A great suspenseful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this movie a dozen times and never get tired of it. I waited to get a copy at a good price and this answered that wait. The service is great. Delivery fast and the quality of the DVD is as if it was new (I purchased a used copy rated Very Good). I have since purchased another movie from the same supplier and anticipate it being another good buy.Blu-ray Review: Exercise in futility
Summary: 3 Stars
To paraphrase Jeff Shannon's fair warning: a) this production ultimately makes little or no sense at all, and; b) the final scene renders the entire movie pointless. An enjoyable cast (Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palmintieri, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollak, Benicio Del Toro) pursues a twisted plot where much suspension of disbelief is expected. Consequently, its audience should extend a considerable degree of tolerance. Also, despite the admittedly intriguing premise, true wit is lacking, for which I would instead turn to Rene Clair's 'And Then There Were None;' Howard Hawks' 'The Big Sleep' or to Herbert Ross' 'The Last Of Sheila.'
Blu-ray Review: Complex Scheme, w ith Surprise Ending
Summary: 3 Stars
The Usual Suspects stars Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Benico Del Toro and Kevin Pollak as five small-time criminals that get involved with a strange scheme I found hard to understand. The first scene is a line-up for a trumped up charge and as they wait together a plot is hatched to combine forces.
Several crimes are committed successfully, leading up to one big hit for $91 million dollars. Beyond that there is a sub-plot of Keyser Soze, a terrible, secretive, underworld killer gang leader that no one can prove is real, other than stories of his cold, horrendous temper and killing binges.
Because some of the dialogue is not easily understood, it was hard to keep an interest in most of the movie. The final thirty minutes make the Usual Suspects worth watching, strange yet fascinating surprise ending.
Blu-ray Review: See this movie, and see it again, and again
Summary: 5 Stars
What do five criminals in a lineup do? 5 criminals in a lineup? This starting point already sets the tone of this movie. And it only gets better from here. This movie describes in flashbacks how a group of 5 criminals is gently or not so gently persuaded to do a job for the mysterious Keyzer S?se, a master criminal, the great puppet player. Every cut offers some new take on reality, offers yet another look at the interpersonal dynamics between the main characters and always leaves the viewer with the feeling that something is still amiss, like that puzzle piece which nearly but not perfectly fits, this nagging doubt in the back of ones head about a story too perfect to be true.
And thus we follow this gang on their path towards self destruction. Slowly all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, slowly one realizes that each and every move of them had somehow been preordained, that even in their rebellion they were still following the masterplan of Keyzer S?se.
The final scene, in which the agent interviewing Kevin Spacey manages to raise some of the obscurantist veil covering the whole real story is memorable and marvelous - and I will not say anymore here, not to spoil the movie for others.
Description of The Usual Suspects [Blu-ray]
Winner of two 1995 Academy Awards(r), including Best Original Screenplay, this masterful, atmospheric film noir enraptured audiences with its complex and riveting storyline, gritty, tour-de-force performances (including an Oscar(r)-winning* turn by Kevin Spacey) and a climax that is truly deserving of the word stunning. Also starring Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri, Kevin Pollak and Pete Postlethwaite, this 'thoroughly engrossing film (HBO) is so gripping and diabolically clever (The Wall Street Journal) that it becomes a maze you'll be happy to get lost in (Los Angeles Times)! Held in an L.A. interrogation room, Verbal Kint attempts to convince the feds that the mythic crime lord not only exists, but was also responsible for drawinghim and his four partners into a multi-million dollar heist that ended with an explosion in San Pedro Harborleaving few survivors. But as Kint lures his interrogators into the incredible story of this crime lord's almost supernatural prowess, so too will you be mesmerized by a lore that is completely captivating from beginning to end! *1995: Supporting ActorEver since this convoluted thriller dazzled audiences and critics in 1995 and won an Oscar for Christopher McQuarrie's twisting screenplay, The Usual Suspects has continued to divide movie lovers into opposite camps. While a lot of people take great pleasure from the movie's now-famous central mystery (namely, "Who is Keyser S?ze?"), others aren't so easily impressed by a movie that's too enamored of its own cleverness to make much sense. After all, what are we to make of a final scene that renders the entire movie obsolete? Half the fun of The Usual Suspects is the debate it provokes and the sheer pleasure of watching its dynamic cast in action, led (or should we say, misled) by Oscar winner Kevin Spacey as the club-footed con man who recounts the saga of enigmatic Hungarian mobster Keyser S?ze. Spacey's in a band of thieves that includes Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollak, and Benicio Del Toro, all gathered in a plot to steal a large shipment of cocaine. The story is told in flashback as a twisted plot being described by Spacey's character to an investigating detective (Chazz Palmintieri), and The Usual Suspects is enjoyable for the way it keeps the viewer guessing right up to its surprise ending. Whether that ending will enhance or extinguish the pleasure is up to each viewer to decide. Even if it ultimately makes little or no sense at all, this is a funny and fiendish thriller, guaranteed to entertain even its vocal detractors. --Jeff Shannon
