Well, since I figured most people would just be using this opportunity to gain quest points and fill it with random nonsense, I decided to do it on something real. 
 
Now I know what you're thinking. "But Lance, it only made twenty three million domestically!" or "Oh, but where did Liam Neeson save the Jews in The Usual Suspects?" And honestly? Who gives a damn. It's my blog, so let me explain it. 
 
Let's start off with the fact that this was basically Bryan Singers first movie. He directed it, he got producer credits, and he wrote it. This may not seem like a lot when you also realize that he wrote Superman Returns, but please, in comparison, that was the studios fault it even made it to screen.
 
The second reason is the cast. Kevin Spacey, Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Stephen Baldwin, these men may not seem like the biggest all-star cast you've ever seen, but when you see the movie and see the performances, you can see why they were chosen for the roles they got. I wasn't originally thrilled with the Baldwin Brother in the movie, but eventually I even warmed up to his role. These five men would for me, make this movie one of the biggest cult classics of the 90's. Benicio played that lovable jackass so well, and Spacey was excellent as the con artist with Cerebral Palsy, but it was Byrnes character that impressed me the most. You never really know exactly what's going on inside of the characters head. His back story is revealed, sure, but all that's really certain is that every other man on the team respected him for what he was. 
 
The third reason? It was a story within a story told so well, so seamlessly that you forgot Kint was in an office drinking coffee the whole time he was explaining it. The narration was what set the pace for the film, and Spacey's delivery is another reason he was an excellent choice for his role. Had it been any other actor, it wouldn't have worked.
 
The most important? Two words. Keyser  Söze. All throughout the movie, you never really see him. Sure, he's referenced, but to use an invisible man as the driving force behind the story for a movie like this... when you realize what the Keyser was rather than who the Keyser was, it was more of an idea rather than a man. How one single being could be so close to the pulse of the worlds crime organizations but to be so far away that people started to think he was a myth? The revelation at the end of the film really clinched it for me. If you haven't seen it, then go rent it, or watch it on Netflix or something, but trust me, you'll love it.
