Maybe best film ever. Mayber Disneys Snowwhite is better.

I'm not sure why this movie would get lower than a 10? If you are one of those people who think the ending was less than an awesome perhaps you are also one of those people whom can't watch movies without ruining them for everyone else? And as far as what really happened in Verbal Kint's tale to the cops... does it really matter? Kaiser Soze was real. That's all you need to know.

Breathtakingingly superb! One to be watched again and again. As good as anything I have ever seen.

This movie is absolutly amazing, when people say that this movie lacks intelligence they must be the most ignorant people ever because if you actually pay attention during the entire movie and don't miss a beat the ending is the best of any. The plot twist is also better than any other one I have ever seen including The Sixth Sense.

I'm not sure whats so great about this movie. It really didn't hold my attention for what ever reason and I found the plot pretty bland. It annoyed me as it tried to be intelligent and suprising when I didnt really think it was. Clearly a lot of people liked it so I wish I could see what they saw.There is really nothing I 'did not get' in this mvie and I'm wondering where the layers of depth in the plot are.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Kevin Spacey gives an absolutely brilliant performance.
[Anonymous] gave it a10:
Brilliant. The music is hauntingly beautiful, the acting supurb and the storyline one that will never be surpassed. A movie you have to see twice and probably will quite never figure out. One of the greatest joys in life is sitting in the same room where someone is watching it for the first time. I could see this flick over and over again, and never tire of it even though I must have seen it fifteen times. Perhaps not the greatest film ever made, but it stands as my number one favorite in the mature audience viewing category.
