Boring nights can be best enjoyed with a crime-thriller movie which is always a great watch for me. I mostly go with this genre, often in the end some twists are like blowing our heads. You would get perplexed about how things went on, and that's the thrill I enjoy the most in such lost moments.
The usual suspects is a crime thriller film directed by Bryan Singer and written by Christopher McQuarrie. During these kinda thriller movies I find it hard to approach the story without any spoilers, I really really find it absurd to reveal everything and spoil the fun. Yet, I must give you something to start with, right? Let's move on with a simple kickstart.
The movie is actually in two timelines, one is the events from someone's flashbacks in an FBI interrogation room and the other is that of ongoing interrogations and their surrounding incidents.
In the very first scene, we would see one of our lead roles Gabriel Byrne as Dean Keaton, wounded and shot by someone anonymous on a ship, and then a massive explosion, and all of these are also witnessed by someone from hiding.
In the present timeline, Kevin Spacey as Roger 'Verbal' Kint is getting interrogated about his presence and something from the past he witnessed. Actually, the story is about a group of criminals including Keaton, verbal, and a few more. Six weeks earlier they were arrested for a truck hijacking which they denied and got bailed in the end, for revenge they exposed an illegal activity of cops, and through their these kinda crimes deals they were into great trouble to do a task for a crime lord named as Keyser Soze, whom no one has ever seen, he has every detail about this group and wants them to do a task for which they weren't prepared for.
Okay, enough details, further discussed then those will be pure spoilers and I don't wanna put you guys through that. Let me take you guys from what I already mentioned, remember the first scene I mentioned? That's the part of the deal which Keyser Soze had offered them, verbal was actually describing those flashbacks, FBI was after Keyser Soze and trying to figure out who he was. Well, Keaton was the prime suspect of the FBI agent Jack who was hearing those flashbacks from verbal.
The story got complex, right? Actually, it's not as much as it may sound while letting you go through, you might need to wait for half of its runtime to actually catch what's going on one after another and then wait till the end for the massive explosion inside your head to see the master strike of the movie, hehehe. That ending was so amazing that I couldn't expect to be more satisfied than that. The whole cast did a fabulous job, everyone was outstanding with their part, making me hooked with a lot of eagerness to solve the puzzle.
So it was a fantastic watch, I really enjoyed it till the end. Highly recommended if you are looking for a crime thriller to watch. It got some action-packed thriller to leave you perplexed. Go for it, you won't regret it, Happy Watching!
