Five criminals. One line up. No coincidence.
Held in an L.A. interrogation room, Verbal Kint attempts to convince the feds that a mythic crime lord, Keyser Soze, not only exists, but was also responsible for drawing him and his four partners into a multi-million dollar heist that ended with an explosion in San Pedro harbor – leaving few survivors. Verbal lures his interrogators with an incredible story of the crime lord's almost supernatural prowess.

A film that rewards on repeat viewings, this has great performances from everyone, in particular Byrne and Spacey, and a script that is brilliantly constructed. It may well be more remembered for its final resolution which works well no matter how many times the film is dissected, but the dynamics between the "suspects" are fun to watch, with each of them bringing a distinct persona to the film that is memorable. John Ottman's score is also wonderfully atmospheric. A modern classic
If you're a die hard crime genre fan, you'll love this movie! Else, skip, you'll just be confused by all the names.
After some prodding from a friend, halfway through I guessed the ending, but I think maybe they wanted you to be able to guess the ending so I still enjoyed it. A bit stagey, but with enough poise and setup so you want to see the end.
THE USUAL SUSPECTS has a skilled director, an engrossing screenplay, and ten praiseworthy performances. The film runs a fast 105 minutes. Don't miss a minute of it.
