The looks on your faces when you realize who Keyser Soze was is why I watch The Usual Suspect reactions. This movie is perfect.

[@nurse0857]

I still remember the first time I saw this movie. My friend was so excited to show it to me, but when the movie opened, I turned to him and asked, “Is that Kevin Spacey? It sounds like Kevin Spacey. Is Kevin Spacey the bad guy?” He stared at me for a few seconds and said, “I should just turn this off right now.” He was crushed. 😂

[@mordicaiknode]

NGL, I just fast forwarded to the end on this one just for that.

[@markcole5108]

We knew the open mouthed shock was coming

[@maddieme69]

Has anyone ever watched “the Game” with Michael Douglas? Great 🍿 movie. You have to check this out. Mind games.

[@HK-wv4hr]

I know! Especially Jay. That’s how I looked the first time I saw this.

[@Sutbri]

When you watch this movie a second time you can see Kevin spacy thinking up his story, and looking at the coffee cup and stuff. He played it so well you don't catch it the first time, but definitely do the second time. Super subtle and brilliant performance. It's why he won the academy award for thus movie.

[@HK-wv4hr]

I could watch the switch over from Verbal to Keyser every day and not get sick of it. Changing the walk, stretching out his hand so good! The moment when they pan up to his face and he is an entirely different person, not only physically but everything, is some of the best acting I’ve ever seen.

[@hillarymullins7928]

I swear, watching people experience. This twist, for the first time will never get old! One of the best all-time twist in cinematic history in my humble opinion.

[@kendrap-LvnHppnss6371]

You are so right!! My mom turned me on to this movie and it is still one of my favorites!

[@jamesvonborcke]

The only other movie with a worthy ending twist is the end of The Boondock Saints. But this one is the wildest!

[@MrJimithee]

I've had a pint with Kobayashi... RIP Pete Postlethwaite, a true gentleman and a GREAT actor (I saw him as MacBeth in Bristol) He just wandered into my local pub at lunch time and we got chatting, really happy memory x

[@redtailzephier4141]

I worked on a film set in Montana in 2021, the lead actor was Gabriel Byrne, the guy who played Keaton. I drove him into town and when I dropped him off at his house, I said to him, "I almost called u Keyser Soze earlier". He laughed and from that day on he wanted me to drive him to set everyday. He's a super nice man.

[@UtopiaBlue68]

Now that's a very cool story, just "WOOOW"

[@PurushaDesa]

That’s great! There’s an outtake of Byrne shouting, “THERE IS SEYSER COSY!”

[@brucef310]

You tell this same story on every usual suspect reaction video. You must love the actor.

[@anthonydinsdale8783]

He was a regular attendant to the Film Fleah and Arts Festival in my hometown of Galway. Came to eat in the restaurant I worked at in the nineties so Mt claim to fame is that I cooked for Gabriel Byrne and his then wife Ellen Barkin. I believe they were filming Into the West at the time.

"Round up the usual suspects" is a line from Casablanca, where the Prefect didn't care whether they got the right person, but they had to show they got "someone" to let the Germans know they were doing their job.

[@avantegarde7797]

Another favorite.

[@donovanraaum3259]

I haven't watched the reaction yet. I wanted to tell you guys. That watching you and the relationship that you have makes my heart happy. We need more relationships like yours to show the younger generation what a healthy loving relationship looks like.

Midnight in the garden of good and evil is another great one. Kevin Spacey was so great before his troubles.

[@laudanum669]

"Midnight in the garden of good and evil" is such a great movie. The last time I checked there weren't any reactions to it on YT.

[@avantegarde7797]

No question, and that was also one of the "Adult" John Cussack's better performances.

[@piotrswat169]

A fence is a person who buys and sells stolen goods for a profit. I love this movie. It’s a great “unreliable narrator” movie. The perspective you’re getting isn’t true which misleads you.

Possibly the greatest unreliable narrator in film. Superb writing, performance… everything. Such a brilliant film.

[@willpatterson4866]

Yes and yes. Mid 90s movie it was really great movie.

"The devil's greatest trick..." One of my favorite movie quotes. Great movie, mostly because of the ending. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@cablehogue599]

It's from a short story by the poet Charles Baudelaire.

[@KarlKraus1]

The Oscar for original screenplay was given to this movie and it's so obvious as to why Seeing a criminal mastermind hide in plain sight like that and then literally get away with his deeds was genius when first seen No one will ever top this

Kevin spacy won his 1st Oscar for this. Also my favorite crime drama of all time Heat was made in the same year. It's a great movie to react to with Al Pacino & Robert De Niro

[@elcorado83]

5:03 - This actor here is living legend, Giancarlo Esposito. He starred as the infamous "Gus Fring" in one of the best TV crime dramas ever made, "Breaking Bad" (2009 - 2011); and he also played character Moff Gideon in the Star Wars TV series, "The Mandalorian". He's also in many great films that I KNOW you two will enjoy very much, such as: "Fresh" ('94), "Do The Right Thing" ('89), "Nothing to Lose" ('97), "King of New York" ('90).

[@CSC52698]

This is one of my favourite films of all time. It's well acted, and that twist! I've been quoting this movie to follow buffs and people for years. The sequence where Kujan realises everything is one of my favourite montages of all time, and I can quote that word for word.

[@geoffrobinson]

First film I watched with an unreliable narrator. I walked into the middle of it and my roommate rewound it. Nicest thing he ever did.

[@avantegarde7797]

Oh, yes, this you definitely must see, from the jump.

[@cliffchristie5865]

The one thing you'd have to keep in mind - though it's easy to get distracted from - is that Verbal is the only one that we know for sure has survived. And the story he tells in entirely from his perspective, so some, all, or none of what we "see" in the flashbacks may have actually happened.

[@robduncan2816]

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist." best ending line in a movie ever

I remember seeing this in the theater. When the reveal happened, the theater went QUIET. No more snacking on popcorn. No more sipping soda. Just stunned silence.

[@marshall8802]

They're laughing during the lineup because Del Toro kept farting and would NOT stop. And Stephen Baldwin totally improved him saying that line like that which is another reason none of them could keep a straight face during the lineup scene.

[@garybradford8332]

The director was getting pissed because the guys kept laughing when the scene was supposed to be played straight. Looking at the dailies, he realized that it made the scene much better and kept it all in.

[@elcorado83]

And if we're talking real life things in the movie, its worth mentioning that when Stephen Baldwin's character got hit near the eye with a lit cigarette.... he wasnt expecting it! It was real improvisation from the other actor (who obviously didnt mean to hit him near the eye with it). So his shock and anger in the film is real too!

[@Steelburgh]

@@elcorado83 Heh yeah it was a mistake (as you said), not improv. He felt really bad about it!

[@gdfathr33]

One thing I love is everyone gets hung up on what Keyser looked like in the origin story that Verbal is telling, when in reality everything between the Taxi Service to the Harbor is a story in one form or another.

[@elcorado83]

That's what I wondered-how do we know there even was a Keyser Soze? Sure, Spacey was the mastermind, okay-but we dont have any reason to think he was the big bad mythical creature we are told about "keyser soze"...all we can really know is he is just a very smart genius criminal who masterminded it all.

[@toro5280]

@@elcorado83 I thought about that, that they could be just using the legend or that someone else was Söze. However that burned survivor from the ship saw him and based on his description they had a sketch done. On the other hand we can't know how that man was positive that this was indeed Söze - considering there was another guy (Arturo Marques) who was supposed to be the only one that could identify him. So how could the hungarian gangster recognize him too then? Unless agent Cujan is wrong and this wasn't the only person who could identify him. I am getting a headache trying to figure it out.

[@philmullineaux5405]

Pro tip, he told the cop, who kaiser soze was, when talking about his old days in turkey. Explaining who kaiser soze was. He tells him some info no one could know. He tells the cop, he's supposed to be half German half Hungarian. It's in his name. Kaiser is German for leader or God. Soze is Hungarian for the same thing. He was also in the film American beauty, and Horrible bosses 1 and 2, with Jennifer Anniston! But in this movie here, it doesn't matter how much of his story is true, or fake. Because he's telling the whole thing, from his point of view, which is never a complete picture full truth anyway. He just made up things, he wanted to.

[@toro5280]

You are basically correct except for the meaning of his name. Kaiser means "emperor" in german and söze means "his word" in hungarian. So I guess he wanted it to mean something like "emperor of his words". Kint's nickname is "verbal" which means "relating to or in the form of words". I assume by choosing this moniker "the Emperor of his words" he sees himself as the Father of lies, the Master of deception - the devil. Which connects perfectly to him talking about the devil's greatest trick, or how do you shoot the devil, calling Söze the devil. And just like that, he's gone.

[@marcuswalker22]

Heat (1995) is another really good one. It's a crime movie with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, both of them from The Godfather. In this, one's a cop, one's a bank robber. They only interact a couple of times in the movie and they are epic moments.

[@racing2cat]

"The Negotiator" with Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson, and "L.A. Confidential" with Spacey, Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger. Both are great murder mysteries! Stay safe you two.🙂❤

If there was ever a movie to watch again to see all the clues it's this one. Since you like fantasy a younger Gabriel Byrne played Uther Pendragon in the best rendition of the tale of King Arthur (Excalibur) also with a young Helen Mirran, Liam Neeson and Patrick Stewart (who looks immortally the same)

[@DougsPromos]

Excalibur (1981) is a must see in my book. Amazing cast! Nicol Williamson as Merlin is fascinating and nearly steals the show like Val Kilmer did in Tombstone.

[@patrickdowdle5121]

[@ZacCostilla]

Fun Fact: the entire premise of this movie was inspired by a line in the final scene in Casablanca… “Major Straße has been shot. Round up the usual suspects!”

[@3.k]

Strasser, not Street. 😄But yeah, fun fact. 😊

[@malcolmnash6023]

From the outset the clues that Verbal was Keyser were all there. He was the only one not arrested (he walked into the line up), The immunity (well spotted), and Keyser was one step ahead of the group at all times (inside information?), he was the only survivor of a suicide mission? and other more subtle clues (including visual clues within the film). Best to leave you to find them all with multiple watches. I often wonder how hard it would be to be undercover within the group as a cripple, without breaking cover. It was fun to watch you going through the emotions, especially in the reveal. I remember my first viewing feeling conflicted by the story being told. At one point telling myself that Verbal was Keyser and then dismissing it. I have watched this many times since then. The writing is a great piece of misdirection in that the clues are all there. The directing and editing are masterful, and the acting superb. The reveal on a par with "The Sixth Sense", this film is among my favorites for pure story telling. A joy to watch you watching then. Hoping you and yours are, and remain very well.

[@dax977]

This is one of my favourite films ever, I still remember the 1st time I watched this and the end blew me away!! Great storytelling, and acting. When you find out the ending it makes you want to rewatch over n over. Loved your reaction at the end lol ...... and like that, he's gone.

[@MarshaLove0723]

My notes about The Usual Suspects How much of the story was true? Some parts can be pieced together by what was left behind after their 'adventures'. We know the roundup and NY lineup happened. We know the strike against the NY cops 'taxi service' happened, done by 5 men. We know that the drug dealer Saul was killed on the West Coast. We know that Fenster's body was found on the beach. We know that Edie worked on extradition papers for Marquez, who was on the boat and claimed to know what Söze looked like. And we know that almost everyone died at the harbor the night before Verbal's tale. All the stuff in between was just a story Verbal spun around various events that can be verified. There is probably a lot of truth in his spiel, but with different names. We know the 'lawyer named Kobayashi' person exists, but who is he really? We can assume that the Söze backstory was the real one. (Take a look at his face telling that story on a rewatch.) He really killed his family, then let the one guy go to tell the story, and start the legend. Then went after *everybody* associated with the gang that targeted his family. I like to discuss with my friends how 'Roger' played the long game. Verbal was a known con-artist in the criminal world. Based on how easily he made up a story from things he saw in that office, we know that he was probably very good at being a conman. He probably only allowed himself to be caught so he could spend time in prison and have a criminal record. He got to know at least one of the guys (Keaton, based on his tale) to have someone vouch for him in the heist with the cops after the phoney lineup and remain part of the group. He most likely set up the 'one time' run of the cop's 'taxi service' as he was ready with 'a plan to do it without killing anyone'. After you see the ending, you understand why Hockney looked surprised and McManus said "Strangest thing..." when they died. One of their group had turned on them. He went through all that trouble to kill Marquez personally, but I don't think he knew that there was a survivor from the boat, who told the cops what Söze looked like, thus making the whole thing moot. Everyone was supposed to die, and Verbal could slither away, possibly becoming Verbal again in the future, if needed. He's really going to have to go underground now. The Roger Verbal Kent persona is now no good. I think the thing that bothers me the most about the movie is that even though we were following the story of these 5 criminals, we came to care what happened to them, and were rooting for them to succeed. Then we find out that we don't even know this crew. We don't know if Keaton was trying to turn his life around, and just got caught up in this 'last job' or if he never turned from being a bad guy. Everything we learned about them and this caper was told by a unreliable narrator. All their conversations and reasons for doing things are now unknown to us.

The Usual Suspects is consistently in my Top 10 movie list. Even knowing the twist ending, the characters and acting leading up to it are worth numerous rewatching.

A "fence" in criminal slang is someone who buys stolen goods from thieves because he has ways to sell them on legitimately. Naturally, he takes a margin between what he pays for the good and what he sells them for. It can also be used as a verb, e.g. "Fred's going to fence the stuff for us".

Kevin Spacey.... American Beauty. You gotta see this one

[@Whitebrowpriest]

4:09 - That's actor Kevin Pollak, Jay. He was in the film "A Few Good Men" alongside Tom Cruise, and Demi Moore (which I believe you guys reacts to before). The other "usual suspects are: Benicio Del Toro from the film, Sicario. (He also plays 'The Collector" from The Guardians of the Galaxy, and Avengers: Infinity War. Also He is "DJ" in Star Wars Episode VIII, The Last Jedi). Gabriel Byrne from the film, Enemy of the State (which also stars Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Lisa Bonet, and Jon Voight). He's also in "Excalibur" (great film). Stephen Baldwin (one of the famous "Baldwin Brothers") from the movie, Posse (which also stars Mario Van Peebles, Blair Underwood, Pam Grier, Isaac Hayes, Big Daddy Kane, Tom 'Tiny' Lister, and Salli Richardson). And obviously Kevin Spacey, that you two already know from Se7en.

Every time you watch this, you see more things you missed.

[@tremorsfan]

There are quite a few clues that thrown in throughout the movie. When Kujan throws Verbal to the ground, Verbal says "I did kill Keaton" before correcting himself and saying "I saw Keaton get killed".

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

FENSTER, PLAYED BY BENICIO DEL TORO, HE SPOKE WEIRD AND DID HIS LOOK FOR AUDITION...GOT THE PART!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Another great Kevin Spacey movie is "American Beauty". Also, another great one is "The Negotiator" (which also stars Samuel L. Jackson). 🙂

[@markhagerman1837]

Excellent film with a brilliant ending. I enjoyed watching Amber and Jordan piecing it together and becoming completely flabbergasted once it all was revealed. This was my favorite movie reaction.

[@jamesfalato4305]

I Love The Point of the One to Tell Us All the Backstory is Called Verbal... Nice Touch...

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Stephen Baldwin is youngest Baldwin brothers.👍🏼

[@marcelkuijper8240]

I love watching reactions to this particular movie. Pretty much everyone reacts the same during the last scene, the moment of the big reveal. This movie is in my top ten all time favourites because of that scene. It's how movies should be made.

[@janellvincent8046]

One of the best movie twists ever! So glad you both watched it.

[@ZooterOne]

I can't tell you how quickly I hit that play button when this one popped up. Amber's laughter at 'Tropic Thunder' made my night a few days ago - this reaction just made my week!

[@seanwoods4883]

This movie is why Spacey is the goat! He made us believe his false character was not his true character. He played 2 characters experiencing 2 totally different realities and we believed them both!!!

[@mellman10]

Saw this opening night when it first came out. I can still remember the audience gasp when Verbal started walking straight. At the end when the credits started rolling the whole theater was clapping. I've never seen a movie that had such a response like that.

[@langlsd1604]

I have watched this movie with people who have never seen it before. The reaction is always fun to watch!

[@BDogg2023]

This was in my top 5/10 back in the 90s along with Pulp Fiction, Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, Dazed and Confused, The Crow, The Big Lebowski, Heat, Clerks, and a couple others that rotated thru. My gf back then was pissed that I figured out the twist early in the film. Still an enjoyable film even knowing the surprise twist at the end, though.

[@dingogirl5032]

More mystery/crime/thrillers to check out: LA Confidential Memento Primal Fear

[@SanKings_Patti]

Of course, this was great!! Another great one, with Kevin Spacey, is " American Beauty"...won best actor award.

[@joshmarsh1]

Mr.Holland's Opus is a movie about teachers and the impact teachers have on people's lives. Stars Richard Dreyfus (Jaws) and Olympia Dukakis ( Steel Magnolias). You will love it. Love you guys, keep up the good work.

[@BouillaBased]

"Besides, it was fun. I got to make like I was notorious." - Verbal So many little things you only pick up on during subsequent viewings.

[@terryv2006]

I had to laugh so hard, Jay looked like a freeze frame at the reveal and Amber just kept talking.

[@BAF-db8ps]

Kevin Spacey is phenomenal! Three movies that are MUST watch with him are L.A. Confidential (another suspense movie with an amazing cast), Glengarry Glenn Ross and American Beauty

[@jamesoblivion]

30:37 This is the brilliance of this movie. Right here, Verbal slips up, and literally says 'I did kill Keaton.' Kujan is so busy talking over him that he doesn't notice. And neither do we. I must've seen this movie twenty times before I noticed it.

[@bobbychristensen8887]

American Beauty and LA Confidential are two more great Kevin Spacey movies.

[@ephraimwinslow]

Problem with seeing The Usual Suspects: you end up convinced you can see the ending to every mystery coming. (Also? You kinda have to do Fight Club now. I won't say why.)

[@deadcatthinks6725]

The score that plays on the lead up to them trying to kill the lawyer is just perfect.

[@jamesoblivion]

I met Kevin Pollak eight years ago. We talked a while, and he told me some fun stories from the making of this movie, which is one of my all time favorites. He even signed my copy of the Usual Suspects script, with a pen that Tom Cruise gave him on the set of A Few Good Men. 😆 Great comedian, great character actor, and just a really cool guy.

[@darost]

"Round up the usual suspects" was a line used twice in CASABLANCA - once near the beginning and once near the end.

[@BowlingGreenTampaMan]

Now you will notice references to Keyser Soze in movies , TV and comedy all over. This character has been named dropped numerous times , including by Deadpool .

[@jackieburchell2187]

I thought I'd seen this but was shocked at the ending like you both were really enjoyed it guys 😊❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@brettv5967]

Such a great script. My favorite thing in the movie may be the crazy accent that Benicio del Toro invented for his character. I can’t get enough of it.

[@michaelsharkey9105]

Another good Kevin Spacey movie is 'LA Confidential'. It's also an early Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce movie. Enjoy!

[@taradevine6026]

Great movie!!!!

[@dustinwilson4815]

I was so here for the looks on their faces at the end! This is a legendary, classic plot twist movie. I had that same look on my face when I watched it, ands I usually predict the outcome of almost every movie I watch in the first 5 to 10 minutes.

[@jnaught1358]

My mother had me sit and watch this movie in the 90’s.. to this day, this has one of the greatest endings in film history. I’m talking directly en to the last note..🎼 I’m glad you guys got to watch it and share your jaw dropping moment. Fantastic!

[@chrisellis3797]

The truly long game was everyone having heard of Keyser Soze when they first meet Kobayashi. Seeds for that must have been planted YEARS prior to these events.
