The Usual Suspects - Movie Review
hi guys and welcome back to will the
beer reviews today I want to talk about
a pretty classic iconic movie in in the
world of cinema and that's the usual
suspects now this movie is 23 years old
and I just finally got around to
actually checking it out so I want to
talk about it a little bit if you don't
know the story it's really it follows
this one person named verbal played by
Kevin Spacey because he's kind of
recounting the exploits and adventures
of this heist crew that he was a part of
so he's kind of sitting in a police
office talking with his detective
recounting what his crew has done over
the past couple weeks things like that
in this movie also stars Kevin
Gabriel Byrne a very young Benicio del
Toro a couple others in there and so
overall I would say that I really
enjoyed this movie I can see why it has
the iconic status that it does you know
I I enjoy heist movies so I was kind of
predisposed to like this one so III
definitely enjoyed it but where this
movie kind of falls down for me is that
it is 23 years old it does have that
iconic status I'm finally getting around
to watching it and so I already knew a
lot about this movie going into it and
this is definitely one of those movies
where if you don't know a lot going into
it
you're better off for it so I'm gonna
start good to get into some spoilers
here so if you haven't seen the usual
suspects and you're watching this review
probably turn it off but if you have
seen it like most cinephiles have you
know that again spoilers the the big
twist in the end is that this big bad
mythical gangster that everyone talks
about Keyser söze is in fact the
character played by Kevin Spacey and you
know there's the the iconic line the
greatest trick the devil ever devil ever
played was convincing the world that he
didn't exist which is just indicative of
the character that he plays in this
movie so going into the film I knew that
that's what the twist was so I was kind
of
looking for it I could see it unraveling
throughout the movie so on a first-time
viewing and knowing a big twist like
that it can kind of take a lot of the
teeth out of a really good movie but I
will say again that I overall enjoyed
this film and I can see why it has the
iconic status that it has and why would
have blown Minds when it came out and
people didn't know the twist things like
that also I'm talking about the
performances in this movie I really
enjoyed Kevin Spacey I also really
enjoyed young Benicio del Toro even
though he was a little hard to
understand at times his accent was
pretty thick and I think it was kind of
an affectation to fit his character
I always watch TV with the captions on
because I'm hard of hearing now because
I'm actually deaf I just listen to music
too loud and I like to actually read my
movie so I can catch extra things and
read and you know catch every single
thing so overall I really enjoyed this
overall I will say that I do have some
complaints about this film I think near
the beginning I was a little lost on
kind of what was happening is movie just
kind of starts and characters start
doing things and you don't really have a
good idea of what's going on there's a
little confusion there and I don't know
if that's on purpose or not I will also
say that what has been going on recently
with both Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer
who directed this with both of their
respective scandals in Hollywood to put
a bit of a black mark on this movie
going this far back especially Kevin
Spacey because he is kind of the face of
this movie you can kind of forget that
Bryan Singer is a part of it since he
just directed it he's behind the camera
don't ever see him on it but I will say
that both of those scandals in Hollywood
do put a bit of a black mark on this
film but overall I really I really
enjoyed it also one other thing
Giancarlo Esposito is in this film I saw
his name in the opening credits and then
when his character showed up on screen
he looks really familiar I feel like I
know this person and then I saw his name
again
and credits and I was like oh we have
that was him if you don't know who
Giancarlo Esposito is he plays Gus fring
on both breaking back and a better call
cell he's a fantastic actor he was just
almost unrecognizable from his role on
from 23 years ago versus playing Gus
fring right now cool little little
nugget in there like I said overall I
really enjoyed it
knowing the twists kind of took
something out of it for me but I'm glad
I finally got around to checking out
this classic iconic film so what if you

suspects have you seen it hopefully
