Usual Suspects is the better, or at least more shocking/:ohhh:/:krs: ending...

...but Se7en is the MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better film. It's in a different league.

For me, Usual Suspects was great the first two times. First because of the mystery/the reveal, and second because you watch it knowing that reveal and it's just a different film almost. After that....I don't think it's a great film. Great performances for sure...but I never really dug it much after I got over the twist.

Se7en is just brilliant film-making.

Se7en only because that shyt gets me everytime. Usual Suspects is a movie i only watch once maybe twice for the ending. Not putting down the greatness of the movie as a whole though.

Cosign this, I'm glad somebody else sees it. "Usual Supects" is a good movie but the ending is what MAKES it. I've never thought it was the classic everyone makes it out to be :ld:

Usual Suspects for me.

Many people forget that it actually had that double twist.

At first they left you thinking that Keaton Da Gawd was Keyzer...which for me was satisfying enough.

Then you find out they got to Edie...you're thinking, :wow:

The final bomb was some double mind twisting shyt.

Seven had the better end for me. Usual Suspects is like a perfect example of Unreliable Narrator, I'd use it to teach a creative writing class or something. The surprise is there for sure...but Seven wasn't just a shock, it was a punch in the gut.
I'd put it like this, Usual Suspects had a better twist but Seven had a much bigger impact imo.
