The greatest trick the Devil ever played...

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2005)

"The Usual Suspects" made Kevin Spacey a household name, and rightfully so. One of the cleverest movies ever made, the ending is more than a shocker. The plot of course involves customs agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) interrogating hoodlum Roger "Verbal" Kint (Kevin Spacey) to try and find out what happened at a crime scene earlier. But this is no ordinary interrogation; what we find out here may be the end of normalcy as we know it. And I don't just mean what we find out about Keyser Soze (whether early on or at the end); this movie has more twists and turns than Lombard St. With perfect performances from Spacey and Palminteri - and from Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollak, Benicio Del Toro, Pete Postlethwaite and Dan Hedaya - this is one movie that you can't afford to miss.
Every time when I'm talking about this movie with someone, I start...well, doing what we find out about at the movie's end. You'll know it when you see it.
