Unpopular opinion: The Usual Suspects is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love The Usual Suspects. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Usual Suspects?
Honestly, The Usual Suspects would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in The Usual Suspects is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of The Usual Suspects and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
