The Usual Suspects THE USUAL SUSPECTS By: Ashley Fox-Castillo “The Usual Suspects” is a murder mystery that has a full script filled with layers of flashbacks, stories within stories packed with cloudy clues. The audience is forced to be a participant in the elaborate story of mystery, director Bryan Singer made the film in such a way that the audience has to fill in their own clues from beginning to end. Throughout the entire movie you feel your mind being played with, but you do not know how or by whom, you won’t even guess it until the last few scenes of this stimulating movie. “The Usual Suspects” starts off with ex-cop Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) and a mystery man at a boat explosion in San Pedro, California-Last Night. The scene jumps from California to New York City six weeks earlier with the NYPD collecting five suspects, McManus (Stephen Baldwin), Hockney (Kevin Pollak), Fenster (Benicio del Torro), Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey), and finally Keaton. They are being held for questioning relating to the hijacking of a truck with guns in it. I enjoyed how the transitions between each man getting arrested by NYPD switched with noises or action. For example, McManus suspects, scene, five, soze, mystery, audience, usual, singer, own, movie, mcmanus, keaton, end, bryan, being, whom, verbal, stories, screen, scenes, san, pedro, participant, out, nypd, man, left, last, kint, kevin, kajun, hockney, getting, fill, few
