I think THE USUAL SUSPECTS is a great movie that came from many other great fucking movies in 1995, which arguably is the best year of the decade in terms of film quality output.

Is it the best of 1995? No.
Is it the best of the decade? No way
Is it the most shocking surprise ending ever? Maybe
Is it a great movie neverless? Hell ya sucka!

(NOTE: I return to the review plate in a few hours with my first take on Robert Altman. Let's just say that is does have a happy ending!)
