this film has an amazingly good plot but may be a bit complicated for some and the language is pretty bad it is a bit violent but nothing you could not handle the twist ending is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and like that poof hes gone

I understand that there are orthodox, carefully minded parents out there that don't want their kids/teens watching things with violence and profanity, and I realize that f*** is used 90 times, a somewhat high amount, but you have to realize that if a kid hears the word once in a movie, they can hear it again. And I realize that violence is an issue for a lot of families, but if a kid is okay with blood, they can handle this movie. The one major problem that I had with this movie was the rape scene, and if my parents, some very careful, worrisome parents, were able to sit and watch it with me in the room. Just be sure that if you have ADHD or ADD prone kids, ones with shorter attention spans, don't bother sitting through this movie with them, they will just be distracted. Also, the only reason I put too much drugs is that the pot of the movie revolves around them, so to watch it, you must first deal with it. Just be sure to enjoy the movie, preferably late at night in the dark.

great movie but there isnt actually all that much swearing and the only truly bad violent moment is fuzzy, stylized and very, very blurry

Usual Suspects is my favorite movie by a long shot, and has been since the moment I first sat down to watch it. True, there's a certain amound of drugs and violence, but once you watch the movie you realize [SPOILER] how little of it actually happened in the plot versus how much Verbal Kint made up on the spot. Keyser Soze may have never been in Turkey, he may have never even had a wife to be raped, he might not have ever been involved in narcotics, and the five criminals may have never even gone to california and killed those people in the dope deal. By the end of the movie you know so much less than you think you do about the plot. So technically, there were never any narcotics, rape, murder, mafia-like cults... it was just one guy making up stories to tell the police. Sure that's a bad message for kids, encouraging dishonesty, but the movie itself has so many subtle details that it can only help your kids' mental maturity by trying to figure out just what is real and what isn't. It inspired my daughter to do her own independant research about the basis of the movie! She found out that "Keyser Soze" is Turkish for "King Blabbermouth" which is oddly like Verbal Kint, eh? I've never seen my daughter get so passionate about anything, and any movie that can bring out such fervid excitement in a 13-year-old is great by me.
