The Usual Suspects-A Movie Review

Back in India, movies were quite a no-no at my home.  My dad considered watching movies would bring down my grades.  As silly as it sounds ain't it?  My mom and I used to quietly slip away from home sometimes on some pretext or the other just to watch a movie in the theater. However, my dad had to take back his words when my grades fell despite not watching movies for an entire semester.

The scenario had taken a complete 180 degrees turn when I came to do my Master's here in the US.  I needed a movie always to complete my tasks.  My mind set got tweaked so badly that right now I cannot even read one page of any book if I do not have a movie or a sitcom playing in front of me.  Work at office has some lenience as I somehow pull it off just by listening to music from my i-pod.  At this rate, I think I will surely go deaf within a few years from now.  However, I purchased a new phone (Nokia E63) and also managed to take data plan from my ever trusted network service. And now Fridays after my weekly team meeting, I get back to my desk and pamper myself with a nice movie on my phone and a novel.  I hope my boss isn't reading this lest I might get chucked out the very next moment. A few weeks ago when I was telling about not able to read without a movie before me to my friend, she said that it is indeed blessed to have such prowess.  Thank God!! I have at least some skill that I can boast about.  Anyways enough of my personal crap. I just wanted to share a movie that I reviewed sometime ago-"The Usual Suspects".

The movie is a 1995 American neo-noir movie directed by Bryan Singer and produced by Kenneth Kokkin, Michael McDonnell and Bryan Singer himself.  The plot of the “The Usual Suspects” is built in such a way that it has a mystery at its heart.
