The Usual Suspects
1995 · TMDB 8.2
Directed by Bryan Singer
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.
Why it matters
Five criminals are brought together for a police lineup and later conspire for a heist orchestrated by the mythical Keyser Söze. A puzzle-box narrative about unreliable alliances.
