One Line Summary

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2012)

The film is about five criminals who are taken into the New York police station because a crime was committed. The criminals agree to do a job, but do not know that this one person have it out for them. About 20 or more people dies, but the big mystery is the man behind it all who really has control.
Five criminals are arrested and brought into the police station to be questioned regarding the explosion and bodies. None of them is guilty, they plan a revenge job against the police. The job goes well, but then the influence of a legendary mastermind criminal called Keyser Söze is felt. It becomes clear that each one of them has wronged Söze at some point and must pay back now. The payback job leaves 27 men dead in a boat explosion, but the real question arises now: Who actually is Keyser Söz.
The police officers was trying to find out what happened/caused the explosion on a boat on a San Pedro pier. That caused the death of 27 people and $91 million that is from drug money. The only people who survived was the people who was burned badly and very afraid of the terrorist and Verbal Kint, a crippled con-man.
This film would be in reference to the film Donnie Brasco, in many ways and including the theme of the film. These two films reference each other in several of way by with the crime, murders, and with revenge. Also, the theme, setting in bars, police stations, boats, also with the detectives being involved in the cases to help solve the crime, and put the criminals away in behind bars. The techniques used in the film are motifs, because of the scenes with the repeat crimes involved. Also, the lighting that is used in the film, when the scene gets intense and the suspense arises.
The tie in comment on the theme, is when the film first begin with the credits, and music, I knew the film would have suspense and crime. At the end of the film, when the man with the disability walked out the police station and as he got further down the street, he no longer walked with a limp, and proceed to get into the car. The vision of the film, show all elements functioning together as a unique whole. This was my first time viewing this film and I have to say, it was a great film and all the characters did great.
