If you love watching a good crime thriller that keeps you right on the edge of your seat all the way up to the amazing and shocking climax, then "The Usual Suspects" is a dream come true. This movie is a must see for anybody who is interested in surprise endings, and I guarantee you will not see this one coming. The movie starts out with police rounding up some potential crime suspects for a small time, seemingly inconsequential crime. These small time crooks meet up for the first time in a holding cell, while they are awaiting a police lineup. One of these in the holding cell passes on a job offer from his "boss" to pull of some seemingly easy and small time crime. When they are released without issue after the lineup, the get together to attempt to pull off this seemingly innocent crime. As they dig deeper and deeper into the nature of their business, they find that there is a criminal mastermind behind the whole thing. A mastermind of crime so soulless and ruthless that any who even glimpse who he is are immediately and ruthlessly killed. They hear a story of how back in the old country, before he came to America, a rival crime lord came over to his house. In a show of force, this rival crime lord threatened to execute his family before his eyes, in hopes of keeping him in line. But this savage killer proved too much even for his rival crime lord. He executed his own family himself, before killing all but one of those sent to kill him. This of course, established his reputation as the most ruthless and feared criminal mastermind ever. As the members of this small group get closer to closer to the real identify of the evil mastermind, the police get closer and closer to the whole setup. In this thrilling race against the clock, they must evade the police while working together to avoid being killed one by one by the ruthless mastermind who hired them. But both the group, and the police are completely clueless as to the actual identify of the criminal mastermind behind all this. The shocking secret is revealed, and it is such a pleasant revelation, from a script and acting standpoint, that you will want to watch this movie again and again to see how the clues were cleverly placed along the way, down to the correct tone of voice in certain scenes. If you haven't seen this movie, you should. If you have, you should see it again. And again.
