THE USUAL SUSPECTS (1995) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

The looks on your faces when you realize who Keyser Soze was is why I watch The Usual Suspect reactions. This movie is perfect.

I swear, watching people experience. This twist, for the first time will never get old! One of the best all-time twist in cinematic history in my humble opinion.

When you watch this movie a second time you can see Kevin spacy thinking up his story, and looking at the coffee cup and stuff. He played it so well you don't catch it the first time, but definitely do the second time. Super subtle and brilliant performance. It's why he won the academy award for thus movie.

I've had a pint with Kobayashi... RIP Pete Postlethwaite, a true gentleman and a GREAT actor (I saw him as MacBeth in Bristol) He just wandered into my local pub at lunch time and we got chatting, really happy memory x

So funny to watch Amber so excited as she puts the pieces together, while Jay just sits there with a stunned look on his face. 😆

I worked on a film set in Montana in 2021, the lead actor was Gabriel Byrne, the guy who played Keaton. I drove him into town and when I dropped him off at his house, I said to him, "I almost called u Keyser Soze earlier". He laughed and from that day on he wanted me to drive him to set everyday. He's a super nice man.

The cop interrogating Verbal, telling him: "I'm smarter than you..."

"Round up the usual suspects" is a line from Casablanca, where the Prefect didn't care whether they got the right person, but they had to show they got "someone" to let the Germans know they were doing their job.

I haven't watched the reaction yet. I wanted to tell you guys. That watching you and the relationship that you have makes my heart happy. We need more relationships like yours to show the younger generation what a healthy loving relationship looks like.

One of the greatest twist endings in a movie, Ever!

A fence is a person who buys and sells stolen goods for a profit. I love this movie. It’s a great “unreliable narrator” movie. The perspective you’re getting isn’t true which misleads you.

Excellent choice guys, and if you like Kevin Spacey, mysteries, and an all star cast, your next stop should be "L.A. Confidential." A definite must see!

"The Usual Suspects" if you remember CASABLANCA , you know where the title comes from

Midnight in the garden of good and evil is another great one. Kevin Spacey was so great before his troubles.

I loved how you got so excited about Keaton being Keyser Soze, because I knew for certain then, that your reaction to the final conclusion would be such a treat. And boy, you didn't disappoint! 😊

"The devil's greatest trick..." One of my favorite movie quotes. Great movie, mostly because of the ending. Glad you enjoyed it.

The Oscar for original screenplay was given to this movie and it's so obvious as to why Seeing a criminal mastermind hide in plain sight like that and then literally get away with his deeds was genius when first seen No one will ever top this

Ending right up there with “the Sixth Sense”.

Best twist in movie history! Watching your reaction is the closest you can get to seeing it for the first time again. BTW, Spacey won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for this role and the movie won for best original screenplay.

Your faces at the end…I remember having to pick my jaw up off the floor the first time I saw this movie. Now go back to the beginning and look at Kevin Spacey’s face as he’s sitting in the detective’s office waiting for him to come in. You’ll be like how did I miss that?

It's been a minute since you both have been THIS shocked by how a movie ends And that was when you reacted to Andy Dufresne escaping and disappearing in the Shawshank Redemption almost 18 months ago Your wide eyes, your mouths agape, your brains trying to do mental gymnastics, it's so entertaining and I love it! In fact, the ending was the ONLY thing I wanted to see in this video because it's so famous for its reveal

Giancarlo Esposito played the detective in the hospital with the snitch/victim. Esposito's future parts include Gus Fring (Breaking Bad), Mandalorian and several other great performances!

5:03 - This actor here is living legend, Giancarlo Esposito. He starred as the infamous "Gus Fring" in one of the best TV crime dramas ever made, "Breaking Bad" (2009 - 2011); and he also played character Moff Gideon in the Star Wars TV series, "The Mandalorian". He's also in many great films that I KNOW you two will enjoy very much, such as: "Fresh" ('94), "Do The Right Thing" ('89), "Nothing to Lose" ('97), "King of New York" ('90).

This movie came out at almost exactly the same time as SEVEN. Two powerful performances from him, then he went down the tubes with sexual assults and is now pretty much blacklisted...😢

Hockney is Kevin Pollack. You'll know him from "A Few Good Men" and "Grumpy Old Men"

Kevin spacy won his 1st Oscar for this. Also my favorite crime drama of all time Heat was made in the same year. It's a great movie to react to with Al Pacino & Robert De Niro

And this is why "Keyser Soze" has entered the public domain as a saying. Such a brilliant movie.

A fence is basically like a middle man. You give him the goods. He knows the people to buy and sell to.

This is one of my favourite films of all time. It's well acted, and that twist! I've been quoting this movie to follow buffs and people for years. The sequence where Kujan realises everything is one of my favourite montages of all time, and I can quote that word for word.

One thing I love is everyone gets hung up on what Keyser looked like in the origin story that Verbal is telling, when in reality everything between the Taxi Service to the Harbor is a story in one form or another.

Now ya'll need to check out "The Game" with Michael Douglas.

The one thing you'd have to keep in mind - though it's easy to get distracted from - is that Verbal is the only one that we know for sure has survived. And the story he tells in entirely from his perspective, so some, all, or none of what we "see" in the flashbacks may have actually happened.

Amber....with that almost Fbomb, lmao!!! I'm dead..Jay was still processing the ending several minutes later...great reaction!! You two would really enjoy Fight Club and Memento. Later RSR, love you!!

They're laughing during the lineup because Del Toro kept farting and would NOT stop. And Stephen Baldwin totally improved him saying that line like that which is another reason none of them could keep a straight face during the lineup scene.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist." best ending line in a movie ever

I remember seeing this in the theater. When the reveal happened, the theater went QUIET. No more snacking on popcorn. No more sipping soda. Just stunned silence.

You'll love to watch KEVIN SPACEY + SAMUEL JACKSON in the "THE NEGOTIATOR". A well-written and tense movie, with major twists!!

Jay’s face at the end was the best, trying to replay the whole movie back in your head to piece it all together again. This movie ranks up there with top twists in a movie. Glad you enjoyed it.

You only can watch this movie once and get that "GTFO" moment at the end...but man, is it a mind blowing moment that so few movies pull off. I was slack jawed when I first saw that ending....great movie.

I love the way Rob took his headphones off at the end of the movie. He was like my mind is blown and I’m done.

For 'First-time Watching', this is my favourite film of all time, a masterpiece! And the anticipation of seeing your reaction to the reveal put a smile on my face throughout the whole thing! Thanks!

"The Negotiator" with Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson, and "L.A. Confidential" with Spacey, Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger. Both are great murder mysteries! Stay safe you two.🙂❤

This movie blew my mind. Love the cast. Watched it over a dozen times through out the years.

This is one of my favourite films ever, I still remember the 1st time I watched this and the end blew me away!! Great storytelling, and acting. When you find out the ending it makes you want to rewatch over n over. Loved your reaction at the end lol ...... and like that, he's gone.

I love it when people don't see the ending coming.

Fun Fact: the entire premise of this movie was inspired by a line in the final scene in Casablanca… “Major Straße has been shot. Round up the usual suspects!”

I've got and love this movie. But what's even better is seeing genuine reactions to this great piece of work! Specially hearing the Rob Squad sorting out and discussing the plot. And we know ' No that's not it ' And Thank You both for the big smile you have given me for every time I remember when you found out Les Grossman was Tom Cruise... just how the hell did you not clock that. Great Channel and Cheer's. 🇬🇧

The Usual Suspects is a direct reference to Casablanca. “Round up the usual suspects…” Didn’t matter whether they were guilty or not, when there was a crime, the authorities brought in the people they wanted to frame.

Heat (1995) is another really good one. It's a crime movie with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, both of them from The Godfather. In this, one's a cop, one's a bank robber. They only interact a couple of times in the movie and they are epic moments.

Pro tip, he told the cop, who kaiser soze was, when talking about his old days in turkey. Explaining who kaiser soze was. He tells him some info no one could know. He tells the cop, he's supposed to be half German half Hungarian. It's in his name. Kaiser is German for leader or God. Soze is Hungarian for the same thing. He was also in the film American beauty, and Horrible bosses 1 and 2, with Jennifer Anniston! But in this movie here, it doesn't matter how much of his story is true, or fake. Because he's telling the whole thing, from his point of view, which is never a complete picture full truth anyway. He just made up things, he wanted to.

I had gotten into comics at the age of 7 in 1982, they taught me how to tell a story with still pictures. I had seen this film when I was in college and this film taught me how to tell a story in film. Such a great comic book style story film.

From the outset the clues that Verbal was Keyser were all there. He was the only one not arrested (he walked into the line up), The immunity (well spotted), and Keyser was one step ahead of the group at all times (inside information?), he was the only survivor of a suicide mission? and other more subtle clues (including visual clues within the film). Best to leave you to find them all with multiple watches. I often wonder how hard it would be to be undercover within the group as a cripple, without breaking cover. It was fun to watch you going through the emotions, especially in the reveal. I remember my first viewing feeling conflicted by the story being told. At one point telling myself that Verbal was Keyser and then dismissing it. I have watched this many times since then. The writing is a great piece of misdirection in that the clues are all there. The directing and editing are masterful, and the acting superb. The reveal on a par with "The Sixth Sense", this film is among my favorites for pure story telling. A joy to watch you watching then. Hoping you and yours are, and remain very well.

Incredible reaction guys! Your faces at the end were amazing. Back when it came out we all reacted like that and then kept the Keyser Soze secret. It was such an iconic cultural moment and so cool to be a part of. I'm just really thankful the internet didn't exist back then😂

An absolutely fabulous caste of some of the best character actors of their generation. Give them a top notch script and witty dialogue and you have a movie for the generations. People will still watch this decades from now, along with The Maltese Falcon as examples of great casting. ✌️

Kevin Pollak plays Hockney, he is also in "A Few Good Men" as Weinberg. He does about 20 impressions, does a great Christopher Walken. He has done many movies as a supporting role.

One of my favorite Crime/Drama/Mysteries is 'Primal Fear.' It stars Richard Gere and Edward Norton. I think both of you would really enjoy it.

If there was ever a movie to watch again to see all the clues it's this one. Since you like fantasy a younger Gabriel Byrne played Uther Pendragon in the best rendition of the tale of King Arthur (Excalibur) also with a young Helen Mirran, Liam Neeson and Patrick Stewart (who looks immortally the same)

A "fence" in criminal slang is someone who buys stolen goods from thieves because he has ways to sell them on legitimately. Naturally, he takes a margin between what he pays for the good and what he sells them for. It can also be used as a verb, e.g. "Fred's going to fence the stuff for us".

Spacey is great in "Beyond The Sea" , he plays the legendary Bobby Darin.

Every time you watch this, you see more things you missed.

I Love The Point of the One to Tell Us All the Backstory is Called Verbal... Nice Touch...

I had to laugh so hard, Jay looked like a freeze frame at the reveal and Amber just kept talking.

Excellent film with a brilliant ending. I enjoyed watching Amber and Jordan piecing it together and becoming completely flabbergasted once it all was revealed. This was my favorite movie reaction.

Such a great script. My favorite thing in the movie may be the crazy accent that Benicio del Toro invented for his character. I can’t get enough of it.

I couldn't wait until you both got to the very end. This movie still holds up today.

There are quite a few clues that thrown in throughout the movie. When Kujan throws Verbal to the ground, Verbal says "I did kill Keaton" before correcting himself and saying "I saw Keaton get killed".

The score that plays on the lead up to them trying to kill the lawyer is just perfect.

The truly long game was everyone having heard of Keyser Soze when they first meet Kobayashi. Seeds for that must have been planted YEARS prior to these events.

And speaking of movies you have to watch twice, SHUTTER ISLAND should be very high on your list.

I can't tell you how quickly I hit that play button when this one popped up. Amber's laughter at 'Tropic Thunder' made my night a few days ago - this reaction just made my week!

Another great Kevin Spacey movie is "American Beauty". Also, another great one is "The Negotiator" (which also stars Samuel L. Jackson). 🙂

I love watching reactions to this particular movie. Pretty much everyone reacts the same during the last scene, the moment of the big reveal. This movie is in my top ten all time favourites because of that scene. It's how movies should be made.

The Usual Suspects is consistently in my Top 10 movie list. Even knowing the twist ending, the characters and acting leading up to it are worth numerous rewatching.

Kevin Spacey’s co-star in “L.A. Confidential,” Guy Pearce, starred in a film called “Memento” which also has an insane plot twist like this one.

4:09 - That's actor Kevin Pollak, Jay. He was in the film "A Few Good Men" alongside Tom Cruise, and Demi Moore (which I believe you guys reacts to before). The other "usual suspects are: Benicio Del Toro from the film, Sicario. (He also plays 'The Collector" from The Guardians of the Galaxy, and Avengers: Infinity War. Also He is "DJ" in Star Wars Episode VIII, The Last Jedi). Gabriel Byrne from the film, Enemy of the State (which also stars Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Lisa Bonet, and Jon Voight). He's also in "Excalibur" (great film). Stephen Baldwin (one of the famous "Baldwin Brothers") from the movie, Posse (which also stars Mario Van Peebles, Blair Underwood, Pam Grier, Isaac Hayes, Big Daddy Kane, Tom 'Tiny' Lister, and Salli Richardson). And obviously Kevin Spacey, that you two already know from Se7en.

When they opened up the briefcase with their names, it goes in order of deaths from first to last.

Kevin Spacey.... American Beauty. You gotta see this one

Now you will notice references to Keyser Soze in movies , TV and comedy all over. This character has been named dropped numerous times , including by Deadpool .

Jay's face at the end! Priceless!

One of the best movie twists ever! So glad you both watched it.

More mystery/crime/thrillers to check out: LA Confidential Memento Primal Fear

"Besides, it was fun. I got to make like I was notorious." - Verbal So many little things you only pick up on during subsequent viewings.

Mr.Holland's Opus is a movie about teachers and the impact teachers have on people's lives. Stars Richard Dreyfus (Jaws) and Olympia Dukakis ( Steel Magnolias). You will love it. Love you guys, keep up the good work.

I can't describe how much fun it is watching you two watch this movie having no idea how mind blown you are going to be at the end.😀😀

Stephen Baldwin is youngest Baldwin brothers.👍🏼

I was so here for the looks on their faces at the end! This is a legendary, classic plot twist movie. I had that same look on my face when I watched it, ands I usually predict the outcome of almost every movie I watch in the first 5 to 10 minutes.

Of course, this was great!! Another great one, with Kevin Spacey, is " American Beauty"...won best actor award.

I have watched this movie with people who have never seen it before. The reaction is always fun to watch!

This movie is why Spacey is the goat! He made us believe his false character was not his true character. He played 2 characters experiencing 2 totally different realities and we believed them both!!!

American Beauty and LA Confidential are two more great Kevin Spacey movies.

Saw this opening night when it first came out. I can still remember the audience gasp when Verbal started walking straight. At the end when the credits started rolling the whole theater was clapping. I've never seen a movie that had such a response like that.

Kevin Spacey is phenomenal! Three movies that are MUST watch with him are L.A. Confidential (another suspense movie with an amazing cast), Glengarry Glenn Ross and American Beauty

"Round up the usual suspects" was a line used twice in CASABLANCA - once near the beginning and once near the end.

The first time I watched this movie, I immediately rewound the video tape and watched it again.

I met Kevin Pollak eight years ago. We talked a while, and he told me some fun stories from the making of this movie, which is one of my all time favorites. He even signed my copy of the Usual Suspects script, with a pen that Tom Cruise gave him on the set of A Few Good Men. 😆 Great comedian, great character actor, and just a really cool guy.

Kevin Spacey in “Pay It Forward”..... 💯🔥🤙🏽😎

"I beg your pardon, but you can all go to hell." By the way, during the line up scene they kept cracking up because Benicio Del Toro was constantly farting. The director wanted them to play it serious, but they couldn't stop laughing. A fence is someone who sells stolen property.

You guys have no idea how long I've waited to see y'all watch this one! And your reactions at the end did not disappoint! I could literally see the gears turning in your head after he starts walking straight! I saw it in the theater and afterwards people were walking out wondering wtf they just witnessed. And speaking of wild endind twists,check out The Boondock Saints. Trust me on this one!

Sooooo glad you liked this movie! Isn't it good??? 😄 I love that final line. "And like that... (blows out)... he's gone." And the strings play that final bass note. DUNNNNNNN. Love it, love it, love it! First time I saw this, it gave me chills seeing those final minutes. Un-freaking-believable. Love the cleverness. And you're right -- it's fun to back and rewatch (like with The Sixth Sense), to look for clues.

"He's not hurt! He doesn't have a disability!" Amber keeping up.
