The Legend of Keyser Soze

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2004)

"The Usual Suspects" is a thrilling crime drama, filled with suspense. Kevin Spacey plays Verbal Kint, the narrator of a twisted tale that begins with a police lineup in New York, and ends with a dockside massacre in California. Behind it all is the mysterious and dangerous Keyser Soze. Bryan Singer's criminal saga is haunting and clever, and well cast. Kevin Spacey turns in a great performance as Verbal, setting an oddball tone. The rest of the crew is headed by Gabriel Byrne's Dean Keaton, with thugs Kevin Pollack, Benicio Del Toro and Stephen Baldwin along for the ride. This crew of five shows great clashing chemistry. In the end, you'll be shocked. "The Usual Suspects" has become a new crime cult classic.
