The Usual Suspects	comment	This dark and multilayered 1995 neo-noir film helped launch the careers of Kevin Spacey (who earned an Oscar for his performance), Benicio del Toro, director Bryan Singer, and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (who earned an Oscar for Best Screenplay), as well as relaunch that of Gabriel Byrne.The movie is told mostly in flashback form. Roger "Verbal" Kint (Spacey) is the only survivor of a bombing and shootout that left 27 people dead. While his lawyer fights for his speedy release from police custody, Kint begrudgingly reveals the events leading up to the previous night's explosion to Customs Agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri). Meanwhile, in a hospital not far away, it is revealed that a Hungarian dealer survived the blast, though unfortunately he only speaks Hungarian and isn't in much shape to be divulging his story. Kujan is determined to get the truth, no matter what it takes — particularly the truth about Dean Keaton (Byrne), one of Kint's fellow "suspects" and the target of his longtime vendetta.Eventually, the crux of Kint's story begins to center around the presence of a criminal mastermind named Keyser SÃ¶ze. Kujan at first doubts the existence of the "bogeyman of the criminal underworld", but as Kint continues his story, Kujan eventually realizes just how deep this particular rabbit hole goes.

Either Singer or McQuarrie ad-libs the "In English, please!" remark to Fenster when Benicio del Toro mumbles his line. Sources differ on who the line actually belongs to. Some attribute it to McQuarrie, since he is playing one of the police officers, while others claim it is Singer shouting a directorial instruction that he decided to throw in.

Kujan is so focused on proving Dean Keaton is behind everything, he never once suspects that he might be getting lied to by Verbal Kint, the crippled con man, who's not actually crippled and is possibly Keyser SÃ¶ze, the most ruthless crime boss in world history. None of the other criminals in the story suspect Kint of not being genuine, either, at least if that part of the story is to be believed.

The Usual Suspects / int_294ed981	type	Bilingual Bonus
The Usual Suspects / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: Those who speak Hungarian get to hear a cut-off joke from Hockney finished by two Hungarian henchmen later in the film. An ambiguous one: "SÃ¶z" in Turkish means a word or saying, but there's no such word as "sÃ¶ze" (aside from the dative form of "sÃ¶z"). Unless it's supposed to be short for "sÃ¶zebesi" (one who finds words easily, one who talks a lot) but that wouldn't make sense to speakers of Turkish either. There really seems to be a connection though. It comes together if you realize that Verbal says that he is often berated for talking too much which is yet another hint that Verbal is SÃ¶ze. The dying Hungarian's feverish and insane speech is untranslated. It's also not insane. Kobayashi's legal offices prominently display the words "Kobayashi" and "attorney", but unless you know Japanese you won't spot them.

Verbal tells him just that, and Kujan realizes too late that the entire movie, Verbal (who is self-admitted to be, by trade, A CON ARTIST) has just spent the entire movie feeding him an impromptu story he pulled completely out of his ass just to chew up the time until he's released, and that he has just let Verbal, the real Keyser SÃ¶ze, walk out his front door and get away clean. All this after posturing condescendingly to Verbal how much smarter he is than him, and that Verbal is just a stupid, weak cripple who is nowhere near as dangerous as his fellow criminals (all of whom it is implied Verbal personally murdered to cover his tracks.) Ouch.

The scene with the five in holding after the lineup is a good display of this: Pete Postlethwaite's accent changes from scene to scene: sometimes English, sometimes Irish, sometimes South Asian. Perhaps a sign of how unreliable Kint's narrative is.

The final line that hits Verbal Kint in the face is when Kujan tells him that Keaton's girlfriend Edie Finnerman has been found shot to death. A subtle one just before The Reveal. When Verbal is released, he goes to get his effects, which, according to the cop listing them off, are, "One watch, gold. One cigarette lighter, gold." Not only was Keyser SÃ¶ze shown with these exact items in flashbacks, Verbal's fumbling with Kujan's lighter earlier raises the question: why does he even have a cigarette lighter in the first place?

The brand of the whiteboard in Rabin's office, which coincidentally matches up with Verbal's anecdote about being in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, IL.

The Usual Suspects / int_4fc6385e	type	Unreliable Voiceover
The Usual Suspects / int_4fc6385e	comment	Unreliable Voiceover: The film primarily uses Unreliable Narrator, but the flashbacks are likely slightly closer to reality than the parts that are only narrated. For example: Verbal's story involves a man named "Kobayashi", which is a Japanese surname, but the flashbacks show an obviously non-Japanese man in that role, and we know from the ending that someone who looks like that really is associated with Keyser SÃ¶ze. Another possible case is when Verbal also describes McManus as being enraged when his longtime partner Fenster tries to run away from the job. When the flashback shows the Suspects finding Fenster's body, McManus is visibly griefstricken over Fenster's death, insisting on trying to bury Fenster, and declaring It's Personal with Kobayashi now. Either McManus calmed from an initial reaction or Verbal made up the part where McManus was furious.

Some time in the past, when Keaton was being investigated for a murder, Keaton suddenly died. Then, in the course of a year or so, the two witnesses to Keaton's death died under suspicious circumstances as well, and someone else got convicted of the murder Keaton was accused of. Sure enough, soon afterwards Dean Keaton turns up alive and well. Kujan presents this as an example of why he considers Keaton so evil and refuses to believe Keaton is dead.

The Usual Suspects / int_7d3f1d63	comment	The Ending Changes Everything: Popularized by this film, which is the former Trope Namer. A police prisoner, Verbal Kint, is being interrogated about a ship explosion the previous night. His interrogator Agent Kujan believes that the explosion was caused by Dean Keaton, a crooked cop, but Kint tells how a diabolical mastermind called Keyser SÃ¶ze was behind it all. Eventually, Kint relents under Kujan's pressure and admits that Keaton was Keyser SÃ¶ze all along. Just after Kint is released from custody, however, Kujan realizes that Kint has been spinning a gigantic lie using objects around the office as inspiration. It's suggested that it was Kint himself who is Keyser SÃ¶ze and was simply playing a role the whole time. This is all foreshadowed in the beginning, when Kujan states that cops almost always find what they expect to find. Kujan expected Kint to be a weak patsy protecting Keaton, so that's the role Kint played.

The end of this film challenges this perspective though since all of this is coming from Verbal's recantation of the movie's events, that's revealed to be mostly consisting of improvised lies created from what Verbal saw in the room. There's also the fact that Kujan views Keaton, the de-facto leader of the gang, as a murdering, scheming scumbag due to his past crimes, while in Verbal's words, he's a decent, if flawed, man who tried to escape from his past. Given that we cannot trust Verbal's words, given that he lied and quite possibly is Keyser SÃ¶ze, we have no idea how bad the men really are.

However, the suspects are shown in a sympathetic light (all of them care for each other to some extent and have loved ones that are threatened by SÃ¶ze) and Kujan is just trying to nab a dangerous crime lord and solve a case. The Big Bad of the film is Keyser SÃ¶ze's, a crime lord who had supposedly murdered his entire family, the Hungarian mob, and anyone barely associated with them to prove himself as The Unfettered, kills off all of the Usual Suspects (indirectly or directly), and manipulates several events to leave himself on top while several people end up dying.

However, it turns out they were set up to fail the hit on Saul Berg so that Kobayashi could blackmail them into carrying out what effectively amounted to a Suicide Mission — and it's implied that they would actually have pulled that mission off without any casualties among themselves, if not for their being double-crossed and killed by the last person they ever suspected.

As Kobayashi reveals, he's been gathering intelligence on all of them during that time, waiting patiently until either an opportunity for revenge presented itself, or he could force them into doing a task (in their case a Suicide Mission) in exchange for releasing them from their debts.

The Usual Suspects / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Usual Suspects / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: There's an early scene of Verbal Kint alone in Rabin's office looking around at his surroundings. This sets up that he was just pulling details from Rabin's clutter for his story. Verbal shooting Saul Berg while Keaton was pleading with him in an effort to minimize the killing. And Rabin himself gives Kujan this gem just before The Reveal: When Keaton demands Kobayashi tell him who he works for during their first meeting, if you look closely, Kobayashi's eyes briefly shift towards Verbal, before he looks back at Keaton and says, "I work for Keyser SÃ¶ze". Also, all of the gang is on the far side of the pool table from Kobayashi. Except for Verbal, who's on the side of the table. Right between both sides, metaphorically and literally. He's also the only one in position to actually start play, and there's a brief wide shot after Verbal's "Who's Keyser SÃ¶ze?" when you see Keaton has put the cue down on the table pointing directly at Verbal. And that Verbal is visually closer to Kobayashi than the rest of the gang. Kobayashi and Verbal are the only ones in the room wearing white shirts. Everyone else is wearing grey, black, or blue. Look at Verbal's relative position on the night of the attack. He is hiding behind a stack of material on the dock. When Hockney is killed, Verbal would have been the closest person to him. In his testimony, shown in flashback, Verbal supposedly takes cover behind some large spools of rope on the dock as he observes SÃ¶ze on the boat. However, when the camera zooms in on this area from the opposite side after the explosion, no one is seen peering through the ropes. In the opening scene, Keyser SÃ¶ze looks at a gold pocket watch and produces a gold cigarette lighter. Later, in the scene where the gang threatens Kobayashi, we see Verbal wearing a similar watch. He also collects this watch, along with a gold cigarette lighter, as he leaves the police station, despite having earlier demonstrated his inability to use a similar lighter during his questioning. When Kujan begins to suggest that Keaton might be the one behind the hit on the docks, Verbal can be seen starting to smile. When Kujan comes around from behind Verbal and looks him in the face, the smile disappears, and Verbal continues to pretend loyalty to Keaton. During the interrogation throughout the movie, although it is easy to miss upon first viewing, Verbal is seen glancing for a second or two away from Kujan or over Kujan's shoulder at the wall behind him in full view of wanted posters and advertisement flyers of names as Verbal is picking up the names of the mysterious associates and contacts such as 'Redfoot' and 'Kobayashi' when Kujan's questioning becomes more intense. Keyser SÃ¶ze is described by Verbal as being of mixed Turkish/German heritage. "SÃ¶ze" is Turkish for "talks too much," or "verbal." "Keyser" sounds like the German word "Kaiser," meaning "emperor," while "Kint" sounds like "king." Director Bryan Singer has referred to the name as essentially meaning "The king that talks too much." If you're good with voices, you'll recognize that's Kevin Spacey's voice that whispers "How ya doin' Keaton?" at the start of the film. After being thrown on the ground Verbal slips "I did kill Keaton," though Kujan is shouting too loud to hear, and Verbal is able to correct himself by saying "I did see Keaton get shot." And when they are listening to the men before the attack on the boat, Keaton speculates that they are speaking Russian, but Verbal correctly identifies the language as Hungarian, something SÃ¶ze would obviously know. During his interrogation by the NYPD, Hockney tells one of the officers "I'm gonna have your fucking badge, cocksucker." The phrasing recalls the phrase that the NYPD had the suspects say during their lineup, and foreshadows that Hockney was responsible for hijacking the truck full of guns. "And like that (poof), he's gone."

It's a subtle way for Verbal to get Kujan to shrug off everything he's hearing about SÃ¶ze and remain blindly fixated on Keaton, which ultimately allows Verbal to slip right out of Kujan's hands. Kujan realizes how wrong he was to be so fixated just a few minutes too late.

It's likely a holdover from Fenster's original characterization before Benecio Del Toro made changes. Kujan states Keaton is a "cold-blooded bastard", but in Verbal's story he's reluctant to get back into crime and to kill anyone. This is explained as Verbal editing his story to make Keaton come off better, but that is itself subverted by the final reveal that the whole story was a fabrication, so all we're left with are the data points Kujan provides, which do paint the picture of a cold-blooded bastard.

The Usual Suspects / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The scene near the end where we see Verbal's "crippled" foot gradually untwist itself and walk normally as he passes by a succession of tree shadows is a visual reference to "The Howling Man" episode of The Twilight Zone (1959) where we see the released prisoner's human face gradually take on satanic features as he walks under a succession of column shadows. Jack Baer mentions his boss gets compared to the reporter in The Incredible Hulk (1977).

The Usual Suspects / int_d8573ef9	comment	Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: SÃ¶ze is able to manipulate police departments to a truly disturbing extent. Despite admitting (as Verbal Kint) to a raft of crimes, the most the police can hit him with is a minor weapons charge. Rabin says he's "protected from up on high by the prince of darkness." Later on, Kint's story includes Kobayashi saying that SÃ¶ze arranged the line up to gather up the five crooks whose crimes had interfered with SÃ¶ze and get them to repay their "debt".

Keyser SÃ¶ze's attorney Kobayashi has a Japanese surname, but he's clearly of European descent, speaking with a vague Anglo-Indian accent, and having been described by the fence Redfoot as "some limey." As it turns out, this is an early hint that Kint is an Unreliable Narrator. "Kobayashi" was actually the brand name of the coffee mug that Kujan was drinking from, and he used it in his fake story because it sounded appropriately exotic and foreign.

However, the writer had to trim down the script, so he compressed the two characters into one, the Sergeant Rabin of the film. In the commentary, Singer and the writer thought this was for the best, as Leo was envisioned as a stereotypical angry police chief.

When the Suspects try to get Kobayashi to call off the cargo ship job at gunpoint, he calmly leads them to his office where Keaton's lover Edie Finneran is in a meeting. Kobayashi points to her 'bodyguard', noting that he never leaves her side while she's in town. Shortly afterwards he notes that if Keaton doesn't go through with the job assigned to him, Edie will suffer "a most gruesome violation" before she dies, pretty strongly implying the bodyguard will be responsible for her death and "violation." He also names a close family member of each member of the team, their location, and what he'll do to them if they don't follow their orders.

He is living in the same city, using the same name and the same face, it has nothing to do with him that the cops messed up and thought he was dead. Towards the end of the story, Kujan believes that Keaton has done this a second time, and Keyser is either him or a smokescreen.
