Storyline
Following a truck hijack in New York, five conmen are arrested and brought together for questioning. As none of them are guilty, they plan a revenge operation against the police. The operation goes well, but then the influence of a legendary mastermind criminal called Keyser Söze is felt. It becomes clear that each one of them has wronged Söze at some point and must pay back now. The payback job leaves 27 men dead in a boat explosion, but the real question arises now: Who actually is Keyser Söze?User Reviews
I don't know what the
problem is. I had heard that this is an incomprehensible film. That when
it ends we don't know what exactly happened. I thought that throughout
the film we were in the loop, and even if we have an unreliable
narrator, I suspected that from the start. Anyway, it's been a long time
since I've been taken for such a joyride with such interesting
characters, even if they are murderers and felons. The plot is woven so
delicately and the threat is so interesting, that I was involved from
the first minute. I always wondered how Kevin Spacey, a rather ordinary
looking guy with a receding hairline, got to be so well known.
Obviously, this is the reason. His performance is right on and he
dominates the screen, even though he is a "gimp." There are so many
layers in this film, but I don't think the screenwriter ever plays
unfairly with it and it is quite satisfying.
