"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist” – Kint (Kevin Spacey)."

The Usual Suspects

Released : 25 AUGUST1995

Held in a Los Angeles interrogation room, the plot follows five men who concoct a robbery while in a New York jail line-up for a suspected hi-jacking. They are: the usual suspects. Drawing a comparison to the most inscrutable criminal of all time, Keyser Soze, Kint attempts to convince the police that the mythic crime lord not only exists, but is also responsible for drawing Kint and his four partners into a multi-million dollar heist that ended with an explosion in San Pedro Harbor. The explosion left few survivors.

The Usual Suspects remains one of the most original and intelligent thrillers of all time, where the jaw-dropping finale turns the entire movie on its head, and yet countless tiny clues remain hidden in plain sight throughout the masterpiece.
