The Usual Suspects

Nothing is as it seems. You watch this movie and think everything happens in 20 minutes not realizing the full run time is almost over. Continues the pattern of many great movies where they build up characters and plots that get complicated just to have the most incredible ending that leaves you questioning everything. Keyser Soze shooting Keaton in the back then slowly walking down the stairs just to play out the opening scene from another angle is maniacal. I got chills when all that happened just for Keaton to be Soze all along. Top 10 villain of all time? This movie gives Knives Out vibes by replaying through flashbacks then clarifying the truth for a true Ah Ha moment.  There’s a little part of you the whole time that wonders if it’s Verbal and when the coffee drops you just know. The DOUBLE PLOT TWIST and that the whole story was just a fraud he made up based on the work board behind the agent, unbelievable!  “The greatest trick the devil ever told was convincing the world that he didn’t exist…They realized that to be in power, you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't.” “How do you shoot the devil in the back, what if you miss” “He can convince anyone he’s somebody else, but never himself”
