Episode 081 - The Usual Suspects
20 years ago (!) Bryan Singer electrified audiences with his taut, intelligent, brutal crime thriller The Usual Suspects. The film went on to win two well-deserved Oscars and to inspire a generation of film makers and copycat crime films. It almost single-handedly started the "twist ending" trend - so, hate it for that if you must. Surprisingly, there are still people who haven't had the opportunity to discover this one for themselves. We tried REALLY hard NOT to spoil this nearly-perfect film.
