The Usual Suspects (1995)
How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?

You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught, and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything it'll be to get rid of me. After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again.

La primera vez que vi esta cinta me encantó ese estilo interesante y bien narrado. Desde entonces la he visto por lo menos treinta veces. Incluso hice un análisis profundo de los índices presentes en la misma para un taller de semántica. Una de las cintas más memorables. Dirigida por Bryan Singer, con la actuación de Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri, Stephen Baldwin, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Suzy Amis y Pete Postlethwaite.

Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And poof. Just like that, he's gone.
