A thriller that piles twist upon twist, it ends on a note of such ambiguity that even the cast members (according to the filmmakers’ comments on the DVD) couldn’t agree on who was really doing what. Certainly seeing the movie on repeat viewings adds many clues and layers without making the experience any less enjoyable – if you’re in the mood for a contemporary tough-guy crime thriller with no real heroes, "Usual Suspects" satisfies time and again. Writer Christopher McQuarrie got an Oscar for his original screenplay and it’s easy to understand ...

Bronson is known for his bloody, two-fisted shoot-'em-ups, whether from a sedan or horseback. Seeing Bronson work his way through a film is a pleasure, and if you haven’t seen one of his movies lately, this DVD is a good place to get back into his work.

Some people find them lyrically nightmarish, while others – even fans of cinematic bad dreams – can be entertained by some of the quirks and impressed by the creepiness, while still so irritated by the bouts of character hysteria and irrationality, and the ultimate impenetrability of events, that they fail to be won over. Once in awhile, of course, Lynch either functions as a hired gun (his film "The Elephant Man" is a case in point) or simply more or less colors within the lines of linear narrative ("Wild at Heart," "Blue Velvet"), but his surreal streak is pretty dedicated.

Unfortunately, the promise diminishes a great deal as the situation becomes clearer. This may not have been the case in the source material – Andrew Klavan’s novel won a Mystery Writers of America Award – but by the end of the film, we’ve got a standard-issue confrontation that relies on brawn rather than brains. Even so, much of "Don’t Say a Word" qualifies as diverting thriller material.

He is a "closer" who can sell anything to anyone, including lousy and barely-legal vacation packages to people who don't need them and probably can't afford them. Penny is a con man with a heart of gold -- he takes care of his co-workers, going to bat for them with management and acting as big brother/pseudo-father to disabled free-spirit Joel (Rory Cochrane), who lives rent-free in Penny's apartment and would rather spout hippie philosophy than do a single day's work in his life.
