The Usual Suspects

Five criminals. One line up. No coincidence.

8.2(11,849)19951h 46m22

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 clever twist and heavy fan support are the only stand-out aspects of this average heist film.** Bloggers, reviews, and friends hyped The Usual Suspects for years before I finally watched it, and it was ok.

    Upon watching The Usual Suspects, I was initially excited to see what all the hype was about however, I found the film to be somewhat of a letdown. That being said, I do think that there were some strong aspects to the movie. From a technical standpoint, The Usual Suspects was quite impressive. The camera direction by Bryan Singer was particularly noteworthy, especially given that this was only his second full-len…
