The Usual Suspects - 1995

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

"Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze." Verbal

"Who is Keyser Soze?" Find out in one of my favorite twisted plot films with an amazing cast. Shot on a budget of $6 million over a period of 35 days this movie is a must see.

When five unacquainted scalawags are hauled into a police station to appear in a criminal lineup, they decide to pull off a heist together. The plan gets complicated, however, when they intermix with an underworld kingpin named Keyser Söze. Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Stephen Baldwin and Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey star in this intricately plotted, critically acclaimed thriller that won another Oscar for Best Screenplay.

Christopher McQuarrie's inspiration for the character of Keyser Soze was a real-life murderer by the name of John List, who murdered his family and then disappeared for 17 years.

Kevin Spacey had to read the script twice when he first received it to make sure he fully understood it.

All the actors were encouraged to ad lib perplexed reactions to Benicio Del Toro's oddball vocal stylings.
