RE: Is the film "the usual suspects" any good?

Just watch it then you'll know. Some people loved it - Interestingly Roger Ebert hated it which I always thought odd since Roger always seemed to me to be rather easy on Hollywood films like this. He raised some good points though as to why it's a manipulative film.
As Roger wrote "I prefer to be amazed by motivation, not manipulation."
I don't think it holds up nearly as well as when it was released in 1995. The novelty then isn't so novel now. And novelty was it's main strength.
Still *1/2 out of 4 was a bit rough.
