Th Usual Suspects (1996) | The Cutting Room

Who is Keyser Söze? Audiences spent 1995 arguing about it, and one famous closing shot has been keeping people guessing ever since. We won't spoil it here.

The film is Bryan Singer's twisting neo-noir The Usual Suspects (1995), built on Christopher McQuarrie's Oscar-winning screenplay and a loaded ensemble: Gabriel Byrne, Benicio del Toro, Chazz Palminteri, Pete Postlethwaite and an Oscar-winning Kevin Spacey. The lineup scene the cast couldn't get through without laughing, the direction, the writing and that ending all get unpacked, before Luke, Westy and Matt deliver three scores out of 10. Does cinema's greatest magic trick still fool you?
