The Usual Suspects [DVD] Stephen Baldwin (Actor), Kevin Spacey (Actor), Bryan Singer (Director) Format: DVD Thank you. -------------------- This suspenseful mystery, with its outstanding structure, depicts a criminal plan gone awry, centered around five ex-cons (the "usual suspects" of the title) brought together for a lineup in a firearms heist. Someone attacks a cocaine deal, a smuggling ship explodes, and a large amount of cocaine and $91 million disappear. The police begin questioning the sole survivor, Kint (Kevin Spacey). Kint claims that the mastermind behind the incident is the big-time gangster Keyser Söze, whose face no one knows, and that he gathered Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) and the other four criminals to carry out the attack... This is a masterpiece crime film that became director Bryan Singer's breakthrough work. There are no good guys among the characters, and a somewhat claustrophobic psychological suspense mystery unfolds while giving off a picaresque vibe. The casting is also superb, bringing together unique personalities with their own quirks. It won Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Kevin Spacey) and Best Original Screenplay. Singer was also recognized for this film and was chosen to direct the "X-MEN" series. (Yasushi Matoda)
