I thought it was one of the best movies I ever saw. I had no clue who Soze was, when Chazz started reading the bulletin board and dropped his coffee mug I thought it to be one of the best scenes ever made.
My favourite scene was the one that I think is on the original cover of the DVD / video.

They're all lined up and they each have to step forward and repeat the "give the keys" phrase, Stephen Baldwin was good, but I'll always remember Benicio Del Toro's apathy and contempt as he delivered his line (which I won't post on this forum)

Ebert lost the plot, there.

Even just the acting alone would make this film worth seeing: Del Toro, Byrne, Spacey, even Stephen Baldwin all do a great job.

Got the depth the first time, although never figured the disguise of the Kevin Spacy figure or the depth of the deceit until the final office scene with the awestruck detective and his realizations of the fabrication instigated by this master in total control. The scene of the eyes looking out on the dock clicked for me on the second viewing, with all the intrigue still there. A superb cast of character actors.

Yeah, I love the films they hate, or hate the films they love, rarely agree with them.
