The Usual Suspects
So we recently watched a film in media called "The Usual Suspects",which is a mystery, and was produced in 1995.
It is about 5 young gentle men that are arrested for hijacking a truck and when none of them can be convicted on lack of evidence they are released back to the world. Later on they find that they have each wronger the criminal mastermind "Kaiser Soeze", and are blackmailed into destroying a drug carrying ship, knowing that there is a possibility of death. With the boat blown up and all 27 criminals dead,there are only two survivors... Who is the culprit? Who really is Kaiser Soeze?
I give this movie one thumb up out of a possible two. I give it this rating because the story is impecably well written and each actor really plays their role well. I think the downside to this movie is that it really is a product of its time period. The ending was simple and very predictable; They make you believe that it's one character who is the criminal when really it was another character. Leaving me rather dissappointed at the ending. But up to that point it was pretty darn good. Drugs, killing, explosions, secret romance, underdog... It portrays a lot of themes instead of just one.
