The Usual Suspects

On the data. One film, and it is almost impossible to see fresh. The ending is one of the most spoiled things in cinema. If you have somehow avoided it, avoid reading anything else, including the back of the box. The title is a line from Casablanca. Bryan Singer saw the phrase in a trade magazine article and worked backwards from it. Christopher McQuarrie won the Academy Award for original screenplay, and Kevin Spacey won best supporting actor. McQuarrie went on to write and direct most of the recent Mission: Impossible films. The line-up scene was meant to be serious. The actors could not stop laughing, take after take, and Singer eventually used the laughter, which is why that scene plays the way it does. The coffee cup at the end was not scripted in the way it is often described; the detail that gives the game away was built into the set dressing from early on.
