Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #22: The Usual suspects

Genre: Drama

Annee/Year: 1995

Format: Blu Ray

The usual suspects. Once in a while you discover a gem which you missed a few years back. After getting tipped by a podcast from the Geekbox I decided I would like to see that movie. Found it one week later in a specials bin at Maxis for 12.99...oh and it is blu ray format. SMILE.

This movie is about five gangsters which pull a heist together. But this story wont be as linear as just retelling the tale. Definitely a 10 for the story line. No i am not going to tell you, you have to watch it. And believe me you will not regret it. Love this type of movie where they dont take the listener for a dumb sucker. The story is complex and very well written with a smash ending. Reminded me a bit of Pulp Fiction which i loved so much.

The producer Bryan Singer has gained a lot of confidence with me after this one. Only after did I realize Bryan has also made the movie Valkyrie and Trick'R treat which i both love along with X men 2 . This guy has lots of potential.

The cast is excellent with Kevin Spacey playing an oscar worthy role along with Stephen Baldwin, Benicio Del Toro and Gabriel Byrne as well as Kevin Pollack. The blue ray transfer was OK but definitely popping out of the screen.

I Say no more. Watch it and let me know how you love it. Beg, borrow or steal a copy ...

Great line from the main protagonist: Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

Il faut voir ce film a tout prix. Superbe histoire, excellent script et tres bons acteurs.
