The Usual Supects

(1995-Bryan Singer)

The film is from the perspective of Roger "verbal" Kint, a shy small time crook. Set in an interrigation room, he attempts to convince the police that his part in a mass murder on a boat was totally innocent. His account, shown in flashbacks and narratice, becomes more and more complex, especially with the inclusion of fabled ganglord "Keyser Söze". Full of tense mystery, and a final twist that will throw you off your chair, and make you realise there were signs there all along, this is a brilliatn crime thriller i would suggest to everyone.

(Spacey recieved an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, that's how good he was!)

Maybe a little bit complicated but i think the right foundations are there, with the narrative structure(flashbacks)being very original and interesting. Possible foundation for a project? Probably not, pretty expensive and hard to film, but really good to take great editing and story telling from.
