I'm hoping to see Strange over the weekend; it SUlHlllS without acid, but some reviews already have bespoke it as being as weak in strong in others. have agreed to the largeness that fills this production, allows no bathroom breaks in the movie's plot. Though in some r"',';"',\TO sounds to to be well worth the ride it brings us on. " On a similarissue, here's a movie that I can actually recommend froIIlexperience! If you liked Pulp Fiction in any way, shape, or form, you're going to love Usual Suspects. I ofcourse never read or heardanything aboutit before going, and had the distinct impression from the ad that it was a comedy. What I got was a whole hell of a lot better: for a little less than two hours, you got helping servlng It./LU/uVlu just enough time between each on-the-edge-of-your-seat scene to gasp in a breath. Almost remi niscent of The Sting in places, The Usual Suspects revolves around the lives of known and proud ckanup dinnen underworld hired thieves. The plot moves amazingly quick at times and is incredible intricate, never allowing a stay for our minds to wonder. My only complaint was that the ending, though for groups offaculty and spectacular, was a bit oflet down, leaving us with little ofthe closure we had come to expect from such an epic tale. All in all though, this is a movie I would easily recommend this movie to students in Steele anyone.
