The Usual Suspects

Dir. Bryan Singer · United States of America · English, French

Five criminals. One line up. No coincidence.

What happens

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.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"In a season of fat blockbusters, a picture as brainy, bitter, and compact as this one comes as a shock and a treat."

— Anthony Lane

"A terrific cast of exciting actors socks over this absorbingly complicated yarn that's been spun in seductively slick fashion by director Bryan Singer."

— Todd McCarthy
