Well, you sometimes have to apply different scales. I would not approach the Usual Suspects with the absolute one, only the one for its particular genre.

When judged this way it is far better than many in its category. Yes, I agree, it is naive, especially on the multiple viewings, but still it is way above most of the REAL trash you see in that class.

I particularly loved the performance of (NO, not Kevin Spacey!!!) Pete Postlethwaite who played Kobayashi, and Stephen Baldwin. They were the most interesting to watch, as Kevin surely overplays in many spots.

Chazz Palminteri was also quite good.
