"Seitdem dieser verzwickte Thriller das Publikum und die Kritiker 1995 verblüffte und einen Oscar für Christopher McQuarries wendungsreiches Drehbuch erhielt, spaltet Die üblichen Verdächtigen die Filmliebhaber in zwei Lager. Während viele Zuschauer sich sehr am inzwischen berühmten zentralen Geheimnis des Films erfreuten (nämlich: "Wer ist Keyser Söze?"), lassen andere sich nicht so sehr beeindrucken von einem Film, der zu sehr in seine ..."
"Sorti en 1995 sur les écrans, Usual Suspects a mis dans sa poche bon nombre de cinéphiles, et agacé pas mal de ceux qui se sont laissé piéger par ce scénario alambiqué à souhait, au montage particulièrement maîtrisé et au rebondissement final digne des plus grands films du genre. Quelques années après, que reste-t-il du deuxième film de Bryan Singer ? D'abord, une excellente surprise pour tous ceux qui l'on déjà vu : Usual Suspect ..."
"Ever since this convoluted thriller dazzled audiences and critics in 1995 and won an Oscar for Christopher McQuarrie's twisting screenplay, The Usual Suspects has continued to divide movie lovers into opposite camps. While a lot of people take great pleasure from the movie's now-famous central mystery (namely, "Who is Keyser Söze?"), others aren't so easily impressed by a movie that's too enamored of its own cleverness to make much sens ..."
"Wider alle Erwartungen führte dieses Oeuvre für den Hongkonger Action-Superstar Chow Yun-Fat nicht ganz zum wohlverdienten Durchbruch auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt. Dennoch handelt es sich bei dieser Geschichte um einen unterhaltsamen Kommerzstreifen. Chow spielt einen Auftragskiller, der es nicht übers Herz bringt, einen Polizisten zu töten (weil er dessen Sohn nicht den Vater wegnehmen will) und schließlich selbst zur ..."
"This didn't turn out to be quite the deserving American vehicle for Hong Kong action superstar Chow Yun-fat that it should have been. But it is an entertaining potboiler about a hired gun (Chow) who fails to carry out an assignment to kill a cop (which would leave the fellow's son without a father), and becomes a target himself when the contract is handed over to other assassins. Mira Sorvino plays a document forger who is drawn into th ..."
"The director of Chow Yun-fat's first Hollywood outing, music-video veteran Antoine Fuqua, seems to be trying to squeeze the charismatic Asian superstar into a conventional American action-hero mold, and the results are dispiriting. Fuqua never lets this high-spirited actor smile, fetishizing him as a gunslinging clotheshorse in a series of garish, scenery-smashing battle scenes. As a paid assassin whose former employers turn against him ..."
