VIDEO-The Usual Suspects

The Usual Suspects is a crime movie. It is a caper gone wrong. It is a mystery that resolves itself at the end. And the real mystery is this. Did any of it happen?



This movie is well known around the interwebs because of the name "Keyser Soze" which at least a thousand people use as a handle. Keyser Soze is a character in the movie who is a devil of a person who criminals and the underworld fear intensely. He is a character of pure evil will and diabolical genius. He is without remorse and ruthless. Yet, his true identity remains a mystery making him even more mysterious and frightening.



The suspects in the movie end up meeting in a police lineup. This is no coincidence as this was orchestrated by Keyser Soze himself. The suspects have no clue they are being manipulated like puppets. Ultimately, they are presented with an offer they cannot refuse. It is a tragedy for these men from which they cannot escape.



This leaves the mystery of Keyser Soze. I will not spoil the ending. I will simply tell you that if you have not seen this film you definitely want to put it on your viewing list. This movie delivers, and my only regret is that the movie could not be longer and deeper and better. This would have made a great miniseries for television.
