"I hope it's going to be a comedy" 😂 Bless you 🙂 This is why I love watching reaction channels. It's a blast seeing these young reactors experiencing cinematic masterpieces 🙂 And this is simply one of the best movies ever made. Glad you got to experience it 🙂

[@kongvinter33]

one Hell of a classic.

[@svenpoletka5236]

The real twist is most of the actors knew it was a comedy all along, especially young Benicio!

[@padfolio]

If you want a good comedy, try "What's Up Doc?" from 1972 with Barbara Streisand, Ryan O'Neal and Madeline Kahn. I think you would love it.

[@Sandlund93]

Yeah, I have it at 6th. Right behind The Departed.

[@philosofree]

I've never once seen someone figure out the twist before the end of this movie, my jaw dropped when you figured it out early!! Awesome job paying close attention, I am so impressed!

[@Red_Finn]

Agreed! Smarty pants!

[@damienjoseph7540]

She thought Verbal was the man with the plan because that's part of his story but we don't really know what happened cos verbal is not exactly honest

[@ralphrex9118]

Agreed, genius level observation and deduction.

[@heron6764]

Clever girl.....

[@rolandcooke]

Except....all her reasons were wrong. There are fewer than a half-dozen facts in Verbal's story that would be verifiable, and she picked up on the wrong ones. Still good though, much harder to fool today's generation, due in large part to movies like this having changed the landscape.

[@HoldinContempt]

That boat scene needs explanation. When he Said "Oswald was a F*G" he was referring to Lee Harvey Oswald, The Sniper who shot President John F. Kennedy. His Statement was him saying "Oswald is a nobody compared to me"

[@ogdenville]

Arguably the best plot twist of all time

[@daver18qc]

Certainly up there with Fight Club and Shutter Island.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

@@daver18qc and Lucky Number Sleven

[@TedRader]

In my 55 years, it's still the most memorable (and mind-blowing twist) that I've ever seen

[@gibbletronic5139]

One of the best plot twists. The plot twist in "Saw" was better.

[@zmarko]

Tie between this and The Sixth Sense for me. Both executed excellently.

[@daddynitro199]

Fenster’s speech impediment was a choice by Benicio delToro. His character was basically just there to die, and his lines were of little consequence. Since his lines were irrelevant, he decided his performance should be memorable, and he built a career on this movie. 9:25 Also, Clark “Agent Coulson” Gregg is the doctor!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

There are no small parts, only small actors.

[@leroylowe5921]

IIRC he was trying to imitate one of the crooks from Dick Tracy which is who he was dressed like.

[@Belhade]

Clark Gregg?! OMG how did I not recognize his voice, I've watched AoS like a million times! This was a long time ago though.

[@alainvachon6255]

Redfoot (the gangster who asked them for the second heist) that called Verbal the gimp is the same actor who played in Pulp fiction as Zed and asked the gimp out off the box 😄

[@Centane]

NO WAY 😭😭

[@bryanb3352]

also the villain in The Mask

[@Niinsa62]

He is also in Blue Streak, which is a pretty funny cop buddy movie with Martin Lawrence, Luke Wilson, and David Chapelle. So if you are looking for a comedy, that one would be a much better choice than this one! :-)

[@TheRscorp]

It was all true he just used some different names etc. You saw that his assistant was real because he picked him up in the car, but I'd bet the world his name isn't Kobayashi. The story and what happened on the ship is all real. You had the cops interviewing the burn victim, and screaming about Keyser Soze. He just stalled, changed names, deflected and played the cop like a fiddle. What gives it away is when he's telling the story of the wife and kids, look at Kevin Spacey's eyes. He's supposed to be just telling a story about a criminal he doesn't even know. But look at the emotion in his eyes. He's re-living the memory. It's brilliant acting.

[@TheRscorp]

@@tempsitch5632 Yeah well though I'm not at all bald, sadly I do the same thing at this point.

[@jrudge]

I’m in the camp that BOTH verbal and the Lawyer are Soze, AND Soze doesn’t exist. I’d wager that the Lawyer is the brains, and Verbal is the muscle, using the myth of Soze as cover (neither of them is apparently Turkish) The Hungarian gangster definitely was describing Verbal as the killer on the boat, but he couldn’t really know who Soze was, that’s the whole point of them buying Marquez. (Just narrative facts) My guess is that if Marquez survived to testify against Soze, “The Devil Himself” is the Lawyer, the man nobody knows.

[@tomesofawesome8041]

Dude. I can go one step further. His assistant, "Mr. Kobioshy". Is actually the guy who was dying in the hospital! He played the role of the "Witness" and stalled, pretending to be in & out of conciousness due to morphine the whole film. They only show his face for one moment, but you can see it's him under the bandages. So like any morgue, they have a drop off, doorway that goes right to the street, to bypass the crowd. "Mr. Kobiashi/witness "DIES", gets sent down to the morgue, two EMT's on their staff sign off on his death, once the officials leave, he gets up, switches out his suit with one laying in a empty drawer, and walks out the back side intake door to his car, drives around and picks Verbal up. BASICALLY, they got Verbal on some petty charge. So the duo made up all this shit in order to run out the clock and keep the cops chasing their own dicks rather than use the time to get any solid evidence against him.

[@jrudge]

@@tomesofawesome8041 i think there’s room for a zipline in your theory, and I support that

[@bryanb3352]

Or there's a theory that Kobayashi is actually Keyser and Kevin Spacey's character was his assistant

[@davidotis5598]

The whole movie was about using the boys to get to the old man on the boat because he knew who he was. All the rest was a distraction. Great movie. The line up scene was brilliant

[@theveryworstluck1894]

I love that she full on accepted Verbal as disabled. That's the way you should watch this movie.

[@alexkaen1701]

"I'm really hoping this is a comedy" I love when a reactor doesn't do any homework, it's more real

[@Amp5150]

and yet somehow at 36:30 she's calling the plot twist of the movie before it's even revealed that verbal was lying

[@joshuasolivan2911]

That line up scene where everyone was laughing, that was because Benicio del Toro couldn’t stop farting and made them laugh 😂

[@daver18qc]

Very nice choice! "L.A. Confidential" at some point i hope :D

[@Turalcar]

Lol. I remember in Uni after showing these two movies to my classmates I was basically in charge of picking movies from then on.

[@Jordashian93]

One of the best "I can't believe he did it" movies of all time.

[@NSAdonis]

"I hope it's going to be a comedy" ...weeeeell, you could say that 🤣😂 Among the best movie scripts written. The lineup scene is a classic 😁

[@ImDerpyDuck]

I dont think there is a better example of an unreliable narrator movie out there like this one 😊

[@Jean-Luc_P]

verbal means "sözel" in turkish language, they took the word from a turkish dictionary and made it "söze." the name keyser comes from kaiser, kayzer, kayser etc. all mean caesar in different languages used in all over europe and middle east as "emperor."

[@Centane]

So interesting !!

[@The2realistic]

Damn!

[@jamiehill3621]

The lighter was the only thing when I first watched it that made me think it was him. Kaiser Soze used a gold lighter and the officer returning his stuff gives him back a gold lighter.

[@fallofcamelot]

A lot of people (myself included) initially leap to the conclusion that Verbal is Keyser but the fact is that we actually know nothing. Verbal is said to be a conman, that's the only thing we know for a fact. Everything else is conjecture.

[@Madbandit77]

Maybe, but a man who looks at small, mundane details and can create a story couldn't be just a con man. That man is a mastermind.

[@Myth-zd6ko]

Camila early in the movie: ”He is cute” Me: ”Yeah, she is not figuring it out.”

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

Love this film. Among the best scripts ever written in the genre

[@handsomestik]

You can say whatever the hell you want about Spacey!! He is damn fine actor

[@gdhaney136]

You realize Red who flicks the cigarette and calls Verbal the Gimp is ZED from Pulp Fiction??

[@Centane]

This just blew my mind 😭

[@johnbolton7657]

Cheers, I recognised him but couldn't place him. Didn't he also play Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs?

[@GippyHappy]

It's awesome you got the twist just by paying attention. I feel like some youtubers who do these movie watch along type videos aren't even paying attention haha but it's awesome that you really got what was going on well enough to figure out where it was going.

[@BM-hb2mr]

Just to remember the guy in the red when they were speaking in the jail cell together the one you couldn't understand when he talked. Remember that guy when you watch sacario it will blow your mind

[@RM-306]

Good start to the new year! 90s movies are my favorite

[@randallwright1973]

This was a movie I did not like the first time I watched it. But two years later, I was going through my movies, trying to decide what to keep and what to trash, and I came upon this one and I said, “I’d better watch again just in case.” And I loved it! And I immediately watched it again. Now it’s one of my favorites, though I did not like it upon first watch.

[@gluuuuue]

At 25:51, the office Kobayashi is showing Edie Finneran sitting in has the name “Kobayashi” (“small forest”) written on it in Japanese. Of course, the man portrayed by Pete Postlethwaite as having been “Kobayashi” in the flashbacks and picking up Kint at the end is obviously not Japanese. There’re probably other hints, and (before the reveal) one could argue “Kobayashi” was just a clever alias used by a guy who isn’t Japanese, but this is the first hint there’s something sus about Verbal’s story..

[@jlittleboy]

I've binge watched you for the past day. What stands out is your unique beauty, strong personality, you've gone through some awful shit but through perseverance and hard work coming out the other side. What I hope for you in 2024 is continued success. ❤

[@Shoomer1988]

The cigarette in the face thing was actually an accident (it was supposed to hit Stephen Baldwin in the chest) but they all managed to keep in character so it stayed in the film.

[@Frank_San_Nicolas]

Realization haha. It's awesome you figured out Mr. Man was actually Kaiser Permanente.

[@TheMule71]

The whole movie is Verbal's story. Nothing we see is how it happened exactly. The zooming of the crates and ropes, where Keaton told (maybe) Verbal to hide, and from where supposedly Verbal witnesses everything never actuallty show someone watching. It's just crates. Everybody is dead, so other than the parts the cops know, the rest is entirely made up. Even Kobayashi at the end, we only see Soze's driver, who maybe isn't even a lawer. Maybe he knows nothing of what happened, he's just someone Verbal (most likely he's another character to him tho) asked to pick him up at the police station. Maybe he told him he was there for a parking ticket. At the end the cop is just thinking that Verbal made it up that the hit on the "taxi service" was his idea instead of Keaton's. He thinks Verbal's protecting Keaton. Fun fat, he was lying about it, just not the way the cop was thinking. And he does talk a lot, so he stay true to his persona. The movie is superfun to rewatching trying to guess which parts are real (for the cops would know about them), which are clearly Verbal's lies (basicly all the names he took from the walls), which maybe or maybe not real.

[@christoffesedao3579]

8:36 - sorry to be gruesome but the legs could have been blown off from the explosion. So glad you are watching this classic. Good to see you post again. 😊🙏

[@xtop23]

That’s one of my favorite movies of all time. So good.

[@TheeGoatPig]

Most people agree that Verbal was Keyzor. But I contend that Kobayashi was Keyzor, and Verbal was his one trusted employee, possibly his lawyer, plus adding that extra layer of protection, hiding Keyzor from anything incriminating.

[@MrTplusk]

Wow, love how you figured it out when he starts blaming Keaton.

[@endorphinzz]

That "Realization" moment in the video was fantastic lol...

[@JumboSeventyNine]

I believe in Keyser Söze but the only thing that scares me is Gus Fring opening the mail...

[@genecrossin5080]

one of my all time favorite movies

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

BENICIO DEL TORO MADE UP THAT VOICE!!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Centane like always finally you are reaction to one of my favourites movies of all time. There are some fun-facts about it. The line-up scene was improved with a fart. When asked by a fan on Twitter about whether there was truth to the fact the group of actors kept making each other laugh while shooting the line-up scene, McQuarrie elaborated that it was specifically one actor farting that caused this to happen. However, he expressed gratitude for the incident and explained how it helped improve both the scene and the script overall. It's pretty well-known by this point that the actor McQuarrie is referring to is Oscar winner del Toro, who Pollack previously revealed: "farted like 12 takes in a row." Lol Keyser Söze was named after a lawyer. Screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie once worked for a lawyer named Keyser Sume (pronounced sue-may), whom he told: “You’ve got a great name. You’re going to be the villain in a script some day.” When it came time to write The Usual Suspects, McQuarrie figured that, for legal reasons, he’d better not use the exact name, and so he replaced it with part of the Turkish expression “söze boğmak,” which means “talk too much” (literally, “drown in/with words”). Considering that the movie also has a character nicknamed, Verbal because he “talks too much,” Turkish audiences might not have been as surprised by the movie’s ending as other viewers were. Kevin Spacey asked to be in the movie before he even knew what it would be. The actor met Bryan Singer at a screening of the director's first feature, Public Access, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1993. Spacey liked the movie so much that he told Singer he wanted to be in whatever he made next. “I took that as an assignment,” Singer told Charlie Rose. “Because I worship this man as an actor.” Al pacino turned down the role of dave kujan to play a cop in a different movie. That would be Heat, which famously paired him onscreen with Robert De Niro for the first time. Pacino didn’t want to play a cop twice in the same year, so he opted for the more prestigious, Michael Mann-directed project. Fenster’s unique dialect was all benicio Del Toro’s idea. As Del Toro explained it on Inside the Actors Studio, his character’s only real purpose in the story was to die. So to liven things up, Del Toro tried delivering Fenster’s lines the way the audience hears them in the film-very quickly, and with a thick, indiscernible accent. Nobody on the set could understand him. Singer later recalled, “At first I thought it was a joke, but I didn’t want to offend him if it wasn’t a joke.” Keep up the good work.

[@jamesfalato4305]

Congrats!!! You Got the Twist the Earliest of Anyone to React to "The Usual Suspects" that I've Watched - And That's At Least A Dozen Reactions...

[@Ford-wt8rn]

the lineup scene is the best thing ever

[@samdoorley6101]

This whole film is built on the concept of an "unreliable narrator." Part of the fun is trying to trying to figure out what is real, and what was fabricated.

[@JCG52577]

35:20 If I’d have been there I would have pointed out that the flashbacks we were seeing are Verbal telling the story so he could have been lying when telling it the first time. Just to throw off!! It doesn’t quite work in this format!

[@SuperVonKiller]

Kaiser revealed himself at 40:49, when he took a drag off the cigarette, not how an American smokes..

[@kennethwilliams7731]

So many people have ruined this great film for others by stating that there is a plot twist. I saw it as a virgin and was wildly entertained! Great reaction!

[@Legatus10]

Yeah, I had to purposefully keep Kamilla in the dark when I donated for this film over a year ago. Didn't wanna give her ANY kind of hints.

[@MikeB12800]

The man in the hat isn’t the bad guy!!! He’s KAISER SOSE!!!!

[@frodo289]

Eminem in song Darkness has a sentence: "Going Keiser Sozze!" when said metaforically that he was killing like mad...

[@jip5889]

This movie is a masterpiece. The double twist is executed perfectly.

[@Stevarooni]

A good murder mystery thst plays with "Unreliable Narrator" like a fiddle.

[@sodapop1850]

If you ever decide to watch the movie a second time, you'll be surprised how many times they reveal that "Verbal" is actually Keyser Soze. It's kind of fun trying to find them all. I'll give you 2 right now. The very first scene when Keaton says he can't feel his legs and Keyser responds to him. That is actually Kevin Spacey's voice. If you ever watched the movie "Se7en" he talks similar to that at certain times during that movie. But it's so obvious and you dont even realize it. Another one is when "Verbel" smokes a cigarette the first time, he holds the cigarette underhanded. Americans don't hold cigarettes like that. But people from the Eurasian continent do

[@tomasbiela5860]

First I saw this I was blown away by the twist. It's such a good movie with great acting.

[@fastecp1]

I haven't seen you do a reaction in ages. I'm glad you're back and okay.

[@fastecp1]

Heat (1995) with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The Town (2010) is another excellent movie you would like.

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

Just got finished using a Kobayashi product.😂 The Hot Hands hand warmer packs are by Kobayashi.😁

[@SilentBob731]

While it may not be a comedy, it still has several moments that are funnier than most comedies, especially from Baldwin and Pollack (and Del Toro's whole shtick is hilarious).

[@tinocontreras5105]

In the beginning during the lineup they were all laughing off script cause benecio kept farting.

[@lidlett9883]

One of the best movies out there.

[@TedRader]

Verbal didn't come up with the first job, hitting NYPD. That was Fenster & McManus (at least in the story Verbal narrated). But it was Verbal who figured out how to do without bloodshed...McManus wanted to go in with guns blazing.

[@Centane]

OHHH i just thought he was behind it all as he kept talking about convincing Keaton 😭 My bad! Thanks for informing me ❤️

[@caveymoley]

@@Centane Oh wow, how interesting is it that that misunderstanding is what lead you to deducing that Verbal was Soze... and yet... there is NO reason why it should have! haha

[@TheseDarkWoods]

Sååå bra! Du gör det här så himla fint och jag önskar och unnar dig all framgång. Tack!

[@fanthianonline]

Masterclass of storytelling.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Not only one of the best film noir movies, but one of the greatest thrillers ever made.

[@IAMCAVE]

Impressed she figured out the twist.

[@SubjectRandom21]

When you had that 'realisation' moment and you suspected Verbal.......you are among the VERY VERY VERY FEW who had thoughts that it could be him. VERY few have that realisation during their first time watching the film.

[@Mohegan13]

It's never actually been confirmed if Kint is Soze or not. They wanted to leave it up to viewer interpretation. However given that Söze (turkish) translates to Verbal in english....

[@Dave_Langer]

Fun fact Soze is a Turkish word that roughly translates to “Talks too much.” Aka Verbal

[@James1787Madison]

Well, it's not a comedy, but it's got its funny moments.

[@montemurdoch5032]

Kamilla such a beautiful name! I felt your emotional break when you encounter excellence! It's rare to find similarities in others like that. I know you do movie reactions exclusively but I humbly ask you to experience a song even a band who in my day was the epitome of romance! You deserve to be the focus of such beauty in song that soo stirs the deep feelings of the soul especially the female soul/ heart! After hearing it I have I couldn't keep the tears from flowing with the excellence! The band is Bread and the song is " Aubrey"! Be blessed!

[@paulieluppino1856]

12:49 ..."poor guy"... Rule #1 of movies: Never trust anybody...

[@philmullineaux5405]

The Fenster character is from an old bugs bunny cartoon where a mob guy with a strange voice, hides in plain sight because he looks like a baby!

[@jarrettenaope7038]

One of ❤ 5he MOST BADASS Crime Dramas in Existence

[@georgeprchal3924]

Still one of the better endings to a movie.

[@TheCashcrue]

My favorite movie twist. You would also probably like the movie Fallen with Denzel Washington and John Goodman.

[@stressed_daily]

Thank you, this is still one of my favorites. Glad you took some time off to rest and recharge. You always look so amazing 🌹

[@bigboyross8812]

You've seen this before, no one get's the plot twist ever!!!!

[@Centane]

dont get used to me figuring it out! It's only happened TWICE in my 200 reactions 😭

[@unseenmal]

Even the actors didn't know the twist. The director separately told them all that they were Keyser Soze. He had them swear to keep it secret from the others.

[@jessereyna6662]

This movie is so good that people completely ignore the fact that Keyser Söze failed at what he was trying to do, now they have a drawing that matches Verbal Kent.

[@duane8829]

Fun one Kamillaa. Happy New Year.

[@rantman4521]

You're spidey senses were tingling. Well played 👍👍

[@Rafa-pr5fe]

Ending Usual Suspects. Beware of Keyser Soze!

[@Erulin68]

You should really watch it again. The second time you notice that Kevin Spacey is acting totally different than the first time you watch it. For instance whenever the cop is behind him, he's smurking and you clearly notice he's making fun of the cops. Like dropping the lighter. Well deserved Oscar for a brilliant piece of acting. And at 19:19 Don't you get the joke ??? That is the same actor from Pulp Fiction who said 'Bring out the gimp' 😁

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

GREAT twist...as in "Sixth Sense"👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@davemchard1530]

That was great, "He's cute", about Verbal made me laugh out loud, Popcorn in bed said the same thing in her Psycho reaction about Norman Bates when we first meet him, you two should do a collab'. Happy New Year.

[@Doofster]

It still wasn't Verbals idea to hit the taxi service, he just figured out HOW to do it.

[@richardlukesh5807]

You asked about SPANISH being spoken at the dock. Bad guys from Argentina were delivering to the Hungarians, the man who could identify Keyser Söze.

[@DavidMacDowellBlue]

There are TUS parties where people just watch it over and over again, spotting tiny clues.

[@MRC_5000]

giancarlo esposito sounds so very different from his role of gustavo fring in "breaking bad". interesting.

[@3dbadboy1]

I heard that Mark Singer had such a hard time with the lineup scene and he ordered everybody home. Fenster (Benicio Del Toro) kept farting and the rest of the cast couldn't keep their composure. The actor who played Keating was a super serious actor and even he couldn't keep from laughing. After some very clever editing, however, it ended up being one of the best scenes in the movie. I believe this was Singer's first movie right before he directed X-Men. Also, this movie had a very low budget and it was doubtful it would do well. At the Cannes Festival they were all totally shocked how well it did. They were treated like rockstars.

[@SilentBob731]

This is a great performance by Spacey, but his best work (in my not-so-humble opinion) will always be Swimming With Sharks (1994). It's a brilliant dark comedy with a couple excellent twists.

[@Y-42]

The story that verbal told was all true he just switched the names from the cork board

[@neilgriffiths6427]

Totes well done for spotting something was fishy when you did - I didn't! - Your crime detectors are better than mine... ;)

[@kenehlears7716]

Yahoo Ms.K is doing the usual suspects 🤗👍🤗🤗🤗👍👍

[@gregprice-f7p]

Good job. I saw the gold watch and lighter when he got released before I thought wait! I totally missed him giving Keaton the credit. Then I was like Wait "is the fax a picture of the Lawyer?".

[@o0pinkdino0o]

Not a bad first film for a director that went on to make some decent (and some not so decent) X-Men movies. Kevin Spacey was just making hit after hit in this period. LA Confidential is a must watch too.

[@biguy617]

After rewatching this movie a few times, I think every lie Verbal tells has a seed of truth to it. We know, at the end, that Kobashi is real he just has a different name. I think Redfoot is real too but he has a different name too.

[@ChicagoDB]

Plot twist greats: “The Sting”, “Spy Game” and “Sneakers” all star Robert Redford. Would also highly recommend “Gattaca”

[@brianboye8025]

Who makes fresh coffee right off the tree. Nope, there are only about three steps to make into a roasted bean ready to be ground and brewed. Trivial, I know.

[@biguy617]

One theory with this movie is that Keaton is Keyser and Verbal takes the name and his place after he kills Keaton.

[@joek468]

Cool to see this reaction to this good movie. Only seems a couple people have reacted to it as of yet.

[@diha9004]

Both gimp and Zed are in this movie. 😅
