The Usual Suspects is an American neo-noir film written by Christopher McQuarrie and directed by Bryan Singer. Starring Kevin Spacey! =]Singer read a column in Spy magazine called "The Usual Suspects" after Claude Rains' line in Casablanca. He thought that it would be a good title for a film. When asked what their next film was about, McQuarrie replied, "I guess it's about a bunch of criminals who meet in a police line-up", which, was the first visual idea that he and Bryan came up for the poster: five guys who meet in a line-up =P
The film is narratively hollow and dramatically derivative, Byran Singer's puzzle-homage to Tarantino is nonetheless well-directed and well-acted, particularly by Kevin Spacey! (kickassssssssss!) who won a supporting Oscar ;)
You can see the elements of film noir right at the start of film! The opening is just beautiful ^____^
Sine waves shimmering upon a black harbor on an elegant loop. The music is awesome too, a string orchestra, piano and bell, etc.
