A classic non linear flashback of a story provided from a vantage point evident from two witnesses and the scene of a massacre.

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2016)

Kevin Spacey's storytelling defines the wits to his clever character as it slowly develops his elaborate statement. Verbal is interrogated as one out of two witnesses to a ship dock massacre. His labyrinthine tale descries the mysterious Keyser Soze as eliminating close to 30 people in this horrific event. As time tells and as evidence builds the killer starts to show as tip after tip are uncovering the layers of deceit brought into account...Near the end of The Usual Suspects, Spacey, in his Oscar-winning performance as crippled con man Roger "Verbal" Kint, says, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." This may be the key line in this story; the farther along the movie goes, the more one realizes that not everything is quite what it seems, and what began as a conventional whodunit turns into something quite different.
