-Who is Keyser Söze? All I know is he gives you a lot of gold in Warcraft III
*WARNING MAY EVENTUALLY CONTAIN SPOILERS IN DISCUSSION *- I will post preliminary spoiler warnings for movies that I feel will have a good chance of being spoiled once people discuss about the movie
Summary- After a ship has been destroyed with everyone on board dead except for two survivors, the cops interrogate the only one who is still healthy enough to talk. Starting with five random criminals in a random police line-up, the survivor spins both a twisted and convoluted tale that only begins to unravel the mysteries and motives behind the explosion.
Review- This movie is an oldie (wow, 1995 seemed just like yesterday), but it is definitely a must watch. Although, the story is convulted, and confusing at times, it definitely pays off in the end. There is some pacing issues (some parts of the story are rather dull/boring) and there are a lot of talking scenes. If you want to watch a pure action flick, this is not the movie for you. But if you do pay attention and sit through this, the end will blow you away. I think it’s one of the first movies to have such an amazing twist ending…and I’m almost certain you will not see it coming, even if you think you do. If you like surprise endings (I’m definitely a huge fan of those) be sure to add this movie to your list. And for those that watch this movie, it will be pointless unless you watch the last 10 minutes or so, that’s when things become very interesting. Lastly, Kevin Spacey delivers a great performance, and this movie is the one that probably sent him to stardom.
