P.L. I assume you're being serious about not being able to get through the whole thing so what I've gotta say to you man, JUST WATCH IT! Trust me, all the clichees you've heard about all the movies people have told you to watch are true for this movie and then some. I can say without hyperbole or exaggeration that this as I mentioned above is one of the best movies of the 90s and one of the best of all time. The Usual Suspects is sheer brilliance and is must view material for anyone who wants to be completely captivated and taken in by a movie. The movie is so well done and so important that I'm willing to do a signature line bet with you if after watching the whole thing you are not at least a little impressed if not completely floored. Just watch it brother!
