Some people are probably bittered teared to death that it got a bunch of awards and Shawshank didn't.

Too bad Jurassic Park came out a year earlier.

This.

Am I the only one that think The Usual Suspect is overrated?
It's an ok movie, but apart from the (predictable) plot twit there isn't much more.

I thought the same and my Dad nearly disowned me. I think it's because by the time I saw it the idea of a twist in a film wasn't anything mind-blowing.

Forgot about:

I think that Adult Swim has a show on it called Clerks based on the movie (which I never saw) but I can just tell.

In conclusion, 1994 wasn't the best year in cinema ever.

Nicholas Cage is a great actor who picks shitty movies most of the time.

Anyway, carry on; I just need to make that point because I will defend Cage's talent (not his choice of roles) to the end.

as will I.
