The Usual Suspects is a 1995 neo-noir thriller directed by Bryan Singer. The film follows the interrogation of Roger "Verbal" Kint, a small-time con artist, after a violent heist on a docked ship leaves multiple criminals dead. Kint narrates the story of how he and his crew were manipulated by a mysterious and legendary crime lord, Keyser Söze. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative is built through flashbacks, unreliable narration, and intricate plot twists. The movie explores themes of deception, criminal manipulation, and the blurred lines between truth and lies, keeping viewers on edge until the final moments. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Christopher McQuarrie had previously worked for a detective agency, and this influenced the depiction of criminals and law enforcement officials in the script.” 
  
“Benicio Del Toro's bizarre dialect in the film was reportedly so unintelligible that during one scene, Stephen Baldwin actually forgot his cue due to being unable to understand what Del Toro had said.” 
  
“The part of Verbal Kint was always intended for actor Kevin Spacey.” 
  
“The idea for this movie started only with the concept of a movie poster of five men in a lineup.” 
  
“All the actors were encouraged to ad lib perplexed reactions to Benicio Del Toro's oddball vocal stylings.”
