Held in an L.A. interrogation room, Verbal Kint attempts to convince the feds that a mythic crime lord, Keyser Soze, not only exists, but was also responsible for drawing him and his four partners into a multi-million dollar heist that ended with an explosion in San Pedro harbor – leaving few survivors. Verbal lures his interrogators with an incredible story of the crime lord's almost supernatural prowess.

Top Critics Reviews

For many true movie fiends, noir is the key American movie type, and the most fun when it's done right. The Usual Suspects is done right.

fresh:
It's a nerve-shredding suspense movie about corruption, a bravura actor's show full of deliciously twisted cops and robbers, and a complex riddle packed with unexpected turns.

fresh:
In a season of fat blockbusters, a picture as brainy, bitter, and compact as this one comes as a shock and a treat.

If the pleasures of The Usual Suspects are the more superficial ones of ingenuity and style, those are abundantly available. The twists and turns of the plot are an awful lot of fun, while the ending is genuinely satisfying and surprising.

An imaginative, entertaining crime mystery with plenty of nerve and vigor.
