The Usual Suspects

Synopsis: In a world where nothing is what it seems you’ve got to look beyond… The Usual Suspects.

The most hardened criminals in the world fear no one… except Keyser Suze. Twenty-seven dead bodies are floating in Long Beach Harbor, and a dying witness utters one name… Keyser Suze. Now US Customs Agent Daniel Kujan (CHAZZ PALMINTERI) has got to find the dreaded killer, but only one guy has the clues- “Verbal” Kint (KEVIN SPACEY), a small-time hood and the one survivor of the Long Beach bloodbath. Verbal tells Kujan an incredible story of five thugs who came together to pull off the job of their lives with $91 million in the balance and Keyser Suze at their backs: Keyser Suze at their backs: Keaton (GABRIEL BYRNE), McManus (STEPHEN BALDWIN), Hockney (KEVIN POLLAK), Fenster (BENICIO DEL TORO) and Kint himself. Somehow the job of a lifetime ended in a massacre and a mystery: Who is Keyser Suze?

The Usual Suspects 9.0

Honestly, despite the fact that this is one of the greatest films of the ‘90s, and the fact that it completely made Kevin Spacey in Hollywood, I have very little to say about ‘The Usual Suspects’. I probably shouldn’t say anything more, anyway, because the mysteries being revealed would lose their punch and meaning otherwise.

It’s simply a brilliant, engrossing, crime story. The acting is superb, the characters are vibrant, the dialogue is witty, the story is genius, and the development is extremely well thought-out.

Basically, it’s a must-see film for anyone who likes cinema. If you haven’t seen ‘The Usual Suspects’ yet, make it a priority. If you have, maybe it’s time that you get reacquainted with it.
