many review have allude to the fact that be a pretty obvious rip off of the usual suspect . most of the film action be move along by long interrogation scene and with little snippet of who who and what what be provide . how much be real and who tell the truth be bat around like a tennis ball . but the main point be . who really care . it the exact problem i have with usual suspect . the supposed hero here be ray liotta character . he do alright with the role and but the character be not especially interesting and doesn not have much on the line . he run for mayor and but most conversation give the impression he doesn not much care if he win . his girlfriend may be a lying turncoat and but they do not display much real affection for each other . a he learn about her true color he doesn not seem crush and only mildly dismay . the final 10 minute of twist and twist and re twist be all flash and no substance . the final twist have u believe an fbi agent allow 3 innocent people to be kill ( 2 of them police @ the precinct house ) and to keep his cover and then expose the suspect . phew . that be a tire 90 minute .
