*Spoilers*
I just finished watching "The Usual Suspects". I didn't like the movie at all until the ending. The ending, to say the least, saves the movie. I have to say though, I would never watch it again. I thought the rest of the movie was pretty dull, and is pretty hard to understand for no good reason. If I understood the end right, Kevin Spacey made up on the spot pretty much all of what he said. I didn't get why they made the rest of the movie so dull, when it probably could have been a lot more interesting. I was thinking, if that's the end, why did I sit through all those unnecessary, boring, and complicated lies. Couldn't they have trimmed it up a bit to make it more interesting. Much like "The Cell", they used stuff that wasn't necessary to the plot to cover up how empty the plot really is, except in "The Cell", the unnecessary stuff was at least interesting. I think it would've worked much better if it was shorter... like an hour shorter. Definitely not in my top 20... or my top 500 for that matter. 4/10
