I remembered a big group of us watched it and halfway through the movie my girlfriend blurted out “it’s the cripple” and the rest of us dismissed her conclusions as alcohol induced fantasy. After the reveal she purposely moonwalked in front of the big screen just to rub it in and we had a good laugh and needless to say we never underestimated her conclusions again.
Yeah, I think that idea crosses the mind of a lot of people, Mary included, once they tumble onto the idea that he might be an unreliable narrator. But usually just as a one stab in an array of possibilities. Good on your girlfriend for sticking to her guns!
@@Hexon66 I do wonder though how much of that is true. The person referred to as Kobayashi picks up Roger Kint (the cripple) at the very end suggesting there was some truth to what he said. The name likely different, but he clearly seems to work for him. He's implied to be Keyser Söze, but that's not even for sure since also that could have been made up. I suppose it's not meant to be known for sure.
Did she predict the twist at the end of the first season of The Good Place?
This is the kind of movie where blurting things out takes away from others' experience. It's supposed to be a ride inside your mind and you can never have back that first-time viewing.
How about "never taking her to the movies with you guy's again"...I would not want to know about the end of a movie before seeing it ..
So many movies take aspects from this one that it's inevitable a modern viewer would piece it together today. When it released there was nothing like it and it blew everyone away.
The problem is the movies you remember the most are the ones with a big memorable twist, so too many movies these days have major twists to try to be remembered
I saw it when it came out and I never really understood how so many people didn't see that ending coming from a mile away. He's the only guy still alive and is narrating the story. And he's the stereotypical guy you'd least suspect, almost to a comical degree.
@@Rowgue51 Honestly, I was mostly bored through the movie and bit on the red herring it was Keaton, especially with Palmieri's character convincing it with the voiceover flashbacks toward the end. So when Verbal picks up his gold lighter and fancy things, the printer image comes out, and then his walk straightens out, it was mindblowing.
@@Rowgue51 Even if you knew it was him, you have to admit the ending is perfectly executed.
@@issi529
The ending sequence was well done for sure. How they show you where he was just randomly grabbing all the names and places he was using in his story from and then the big reveal as his handicap disappears.
Even though I knew the payoff before it happened that was a super entertaining way to do the reveal. It would have just been exponentially more entertaining if it weren't so predictable.
'L.A Confidential' is another excellent crime movie. I think you would really like it.
i agree that is another star studded great movie
For sure. One of my favorites
Rolo Tomasi
One of those fun movies that holds up on multiple viewings: once you KNOW the twist, you sit back and look for all the incredible set-ups and hints they gave. They played entirely fair and tricked you in plain sight. So fun.
Not fun but incredible.
I went to see this with a group of friends when it was released in London. It ending blew us away. On the tube ride home I looked up and burst out laughing. My friend asked me why I was in hysterics. Since I was unable to answer and had tears in my eyes all I could do was point at a poster for the movie "The Usual Suspects" where some utter git had taken a black marker pen and written "it was him" with an arrow pointed to Keyser Soze!
So glad I saw that after the movie!
My dearest hatred to whoever drew that arrow
Oh man, one of my top 5 ever movies. I loooove this one.
Just goes to show, you CAN make an awesome movie with very little budget. All you need is a good script and some bloody good actors.
There are some great one-liners in this script. "How do you shoot the Devil in the back? What if you miss?"
@@neil2444 "....and like that, he's gone. Underground...nobody's seen him since. He becomes a myth. A spook story criminals tell their kids at night. Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you!"
@@neil2444the funny thing is, he spoke the truth lol
Aw the look of joy on Mary’s face 😂
The twist ending has been parodied or spoofed in other TV shows and movies for years.
L.A. Confidential is anther great crime movie that came out in the 90's. It takes place in earlier Hollywood. Great cast as well!
Yes please!
"The Departed" and "Knives Out" are definitely good movies for you to watch. You are a good detective Mary. Well done. I am amongst the many others who were fooled. 😆😆 Please add "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972), "An Affair to Remember" (1957), and "The Lady Vanishes" (1938) to your classic movies list to watch.
You can already find Knives Out on her channel :)
When this came out Kevin Spacey was not yet known. All the other guys were known stars. So no one remotely suspected Verbal. AT ALL. When this movie came out it was the biggest twist ending since Empire Strikes Back!
“And just like that…phew…he’s gone”
You might like David Fincher's 1997 film, The Game, starring Michael Douglas. It's another famously convoluted mindfuck of a movie.
LOVE "The Game"!!!! 👍😎
All Fincher movies are mind-fucks.
Note to the Editor.. Zed's dead baby, that cracked me up, thank you :)
The Usual Suspects and LA Confidential (recommend) were 2 of my fave crime films from the mid-nineties.
Loved the reaction! Memento is a great, hard to figure out detective story.
Memento is a GREAT movie. Early Nolan. You definitely gotta watch that, Marie.
A couple of films with incredible reveals that you would enjoy are No Way Out and LA Confidential.
TY for a great reaction 👍
L.A.Confidential is one of the best movies of the 90’s. Would LOVE to see your reaction to it!
Love the No Way Out recommendation!
Kevin Costner rocks!
YES!!!! 😎👍
yes No Way Out! 👏
@@sreyangovender3404 A great thriller with Kevin Costner, Demi Moore and William Hurt (RiP) is "Mr. Brooks"!!
FANTASTIC movie! 😊🤓
Two great crime movies that I think you'll love are Primal Fear and LA Confidential.
Oh YES!!! Primal Fear is excellent!!!!
I've seen this film so many times, and it's always enjoyable. There are so many clues, most of them are so subtle you don't pick up on until you've got a really good familiarity with everything else in the film. There's little inconsistencies in the story, and Verbal's behavior, in every single scene. Each time you watch, you can hunt for more clues, more connections, more things he says or does that doesn't make sense in the context of everything else. If you watch it enough times, I think there's enough truth scattered throughout, verifiable facts, and logical conclusions, that it is possible to understand what really happened. But I'll leave that to you to figure out for yourself.
Holy MEMENTO, Batman... yes, see USUAL twice or three times, even. There are a LOT of movies worthy of that, where rewatchings brings out a lot more.
I love this movie
Also, major props to Miles for the Breaking Bad references that a long time from now Mary will eventually get
thanks haha. i mostly put them in for the viewers :p
@@themiIes Much appreciated! I'll bet a lot of viewers wouldn't have recognized Gus otherwise!
@@extantsanity Wait until Mari gets to Trading Places!
@@themiIes so glad y'all said this. I was wondering how she used such good clips.
But im new here and it makes sense now hahaha
Okay, can we talk for a moment about "swiggety swootsie"? Because I think it's fabulous.
2006's movie "Inside man" is also really good. There are multiple twists and good acting along the way.
It way much overlooked for some reason.
I highly recommend it.
When you watch it again, pay attention to Verbal's reactions while being interrogated. When Kujan seems to buy the story and he's not looking, you can see Verbal up close starting to smirk ever so slightly. But then when Kujan bursts in and asks about Keyser Soze, Verbal shouts "Fuck!", which he then sells successfully as "Oh no, I'm upset because I'm so small and weak and afraid and now Keyser Soze is known to the authorities and he could come after me!" But in reality Verbal/Keyser is pissed because he didn't know that someone survived who realized who he was.
Verbal also lets it slip that he pulled the trigger on Keaton. It gets buried in the intense overlapping dialogue, but he absolutely says 'I don't know what you're talking about...I did kill Keaton.' Kujan doesn't notice because he's talking over him.
@@jamesoblivion Ooh, I never noticed that! Thanks.
Seeing a Welsh actor play a guy named Kobayashi, I remembered I knew a guy with a totally Japanese name who had blond hair and blue eyes. Consequently, I actively avoided seeing this as a red flag and got suckered by the this film even more than most people.
The name of this movie btw is a reference to a line at the end of the movie CASABLANCA regarding the murder of a nazi officer where the Vichy French police captain played by Claude Raines says to his men who arrive to investigate, "round up the usual suspects" even though he just saw the Humphrey Bogart character (Rick) commit the murder.
Another interesting movie that keeps you guessing is "No Way Out" (1987) with Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman. Also some of you out there might enjoy "Mystic River" (2003) with Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, and Kevin Bacon. Both take some unexpected turns.
This is my all-time favorite movie. The script is absolutely perfect. I remember watching it with my mom when I was in high school and she told me that she thought Soze was Verbal after he told the story of Soze's rise to power. I asked her how she knew and she said that she noticed Verbal smoking a cigarette and holding the cigarette with his thumb and index finger, rather than between his index finger and middle finger. And when Soze was mentioned as being Turkish, she said that Americans don't smoke cigarettes the way Verbal did.
Mine too. People always rant and rave about the film’s ending (as truly great as is it), but there’s so much more to the movie than just its finale. The whole atmosphere and tone of the movie is majestic and haunting. A phenomenal score, too. It’s one of only a handful of movies I give a 10/10.
I'm the same: I don't know how people can describe suspects' appearance to police artists.
You know you've crafted a mystery well when a viewer can figure it out halfway through but still be surprised and as delighted as everyone else at the reveal.
"How do you shoot the devil in the back?"
Honesty! 🤣🤣🤣
There were sooooo many hints, if you look them up you can rewatch it 3, 4, 5 times and still don't see them all :-))
Verbal tells Kujan that he killed Keaton when they’re wrestling in the office. You have to really listen for it though. Perfect time to admit that, in the confusion, when the detective would be distracted. Everything is misdirection.
Crazy that this movie is almost 30 years old.
When I first saw this the only inkling I had that Verbal wasn't being honest came from when he said he shot the guy in the botched robbery for Redfoot (why would the guy who said he was so against killing and who later says he was too scared to shoot be so brazen then?) and with his general 'oh no, look at me I 'm just dumb and a cripple!' stuff that just kind of got more and more pathetic as it went on. But I bought the Keaton line because I thought the movie was telling me that WAS who did it, and I didn't expect the reveal.
Huh, what really? Watched this movie a few times and I can’t remember he said that.
The line " the usual suspects " was said by Inspector Renault in Casablanca
Future crime time recommendation, one of my favourite modern heist movies: Inside Man (2006).
Another good heist film: The Score (2001)
SO glad you suggested those two, I was just about to write that as well... also The Town, starring Keyser's 'lawyer' Pete Postlethwaite ;)
Thumbs up for *Inside Man.*
Inside Man is one of my all time favourite crime movies.
Inside Man is awesome. The Town is awesome. The Score is decent. I also like The Italian Job. Jackie Brown, Snatch, and Three Kings are a few more that fit the genre.
@@BDogg2023 don't forget 'Lock, Stock & two smoking barrels'
Yeah, can't beat that feeling of wow.
I was still staying at home at my Mum's then and watched this on VHS for the first time.
I pressed rewind and watched it all over again.
Brilliant.
"Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead" is another great crime drama, along the same lines.
This movie is like a foam. It occupies a large volume, but there is a big emptiness inside.
I’ve never known anyone who after watching this the 1st time doesn’t immediately say I’m gonna watch that again. We hit the rewind button immediately. Lol!
I've watched this over and over. Love it. I always marvel about how he played the long game - as a criminal who had a record as a con-man.
Straight out of The Art Of War, a lesson in 'if ur strong, appear weak'.
I saw this when it came out in the theater. This was before movies were really trying to trick audiences like today. I remember everyone gasping at the end... such a great movie!
Almost spilled my water on the "minerals" quote inserted at 08:40.
I watched this in the theater several times and even had a screenwriting magazine that published the full screenplay. This is a fantastic movie, that actually holds up under multiple viewings. This took home two Oscars: Best Screenplay for Christopher McQuarrie and Best Supporting Actor for Kevin Spacey.
I watch this sometimes just for the dialogue and the performances now, even knowing how it all plays out...I love just watching it and finding little nuggets I didn't see before...and I do find them.
5:14 "Is that his trick, to just talk about anything all the time but not the subject at hand?"
Bam.
From the moment Fenster arrives on screen, walks around, walks back around the corner and the cops nab him… I was a Benicio Del Toro fan.. lol.. Great entrance!..
I also LOVE crime movies, shows, etc. They're like puzzles sometimes
A very good crime/courtroom drama is *Primal Fear* with Edward Norton in his first role.
9:11 "Also, like, there's a criminal explaining this... What if his story's not true?" 🧠💡🛎👍
I've watched this movie at least two dozen times and it's a new layer/movie every time
Oh and the title of the movie is taken from the line in "Casablanca" and said by Captain Renault after the German Commander is killed and they need a scapegoat.
_Well done!_ So much fun! Glad you enjoyed this so much! Such joy can be contagious. 😋
The Game and The Departed come to mind right away and both very much worth a visit. But I liked Edaward Nortons (academy award nominated) first big role in Primal Fear. This will especially tickle u as it deals with both psychology in a tense court room drama.
I watched this years ago, but watching the movie with you was so much enjoyable. I enjoy watching crime and law movies with you. 😊
Keep up the good work 👍
A great crime movie is L.A. Confidential! You’ll love it.
One of my all time favorites!! Yes, you definitely need to watch it more than once. I have the special edition dvd. In “The making of” it was hilarious to find out that the line up scene in the beginning was brilliantly edited. The reason that they were all laughing so hard wasn’t because of McManus’ crazy outburst, but because Fenster, (Benicio Del Toro) couldn’t stop farting and no one could keep it together. lol
Great movie, great story, Great reaction Mary!! If you are game for other crime dramas, here are TWO great suggestions: 'Star Chamber' - 1983 and 'The Game' - 1997. Please add to your future crime list.
Did you mix up Mary for Jen Murray? She's a great reactor.
@@jjkhawaiian Apparently so, thank you.
I didn't notice if you recognized the actor who plays Jack Baer.. but it is a young Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) from Breaking Bad
Since Mary played the Breaking Bad theme in that scene, I'm guessing she didn't realize until after filming the reaction.
Well done spotting him. This is up there with the Knives Out reaction as one of my favorites on this channel.
Knives out was amazing as well.
A crime and legal, drama I think you'd enjoy both:
Crime drama: "Training Day" 2001 Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke. Legal/Court Drama: "At Time to Kill" 1996 Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson
The production company for this is Bad Hat Harry Productions, a reference to Jaws. “That’s some bad hat Harry.
The filmmakers really wanted you to think it was Keaton who was Soze, to the point where it is actually Byrne playing Soze in those scenes on the boat. And then of course they pull the rug from underneath you with the real reveal
There are definitely a lot of clues that stand out more on a rewatch. Early on, Verbal tells Kujan that cops usually believe what they want to, so he pushes a narrative that supports Kujan's suspicions. Kujan tells him when a caught suspect rests that is a sign of guilt, and it was Hockney that was lying down in the cell while everyone else was sitting or standing. And subtle things from Verbal, like him surveying the room for names and looking up at the bottom of the coffee cup to pull "Kobayashi."
The Last Seduction, Body Heat, No Way Out are a few films that will definitely twist your brain.
The Secret In Their Eyes from Argentina is another one.
@@ShreveportJoe .. actually, there was an American remake starring Julia Roberts. Hold on...more correctly, an inferior remake, "Secret In Their Eyes".
Isnt this film wonderful? My favourite film ever. It twists and turns and does everything to convince you, you are wrong. Even when youre right. Perfect script with amazing dialogue. Did you notice how the music even plays with you? Right up to the "Bah bah" at the end, to say " screw you! We played with you all along". Its so much fun to see someone else go through the joy you had the first time you watched a special film.
Hey Marijke, What an amazing film, I’ve seen it about 20 times and every time I see something I didn’t notice before. To really be appreciated, movies like this should be watched at least twice, and with friends. Theories, twists and realizations come bubbling to the surface the more you watch a mystery noir such as "THe Usual SUspects. Great reaction.
I saw this whole film and the reveal at the end completely overshadowed the rest. Watching your reaction i realized "i don't remember this entire film jfc",
Hey marijke, from what I can discern, Verbal mixed truth and lies to misdirect the audience and police. Once Verbal saw Agent Kuyon was fixated on Ketan he molded the story in that direction. Verbal said in the police station that police often look for the simplest explanation and never consider any mastermind. Such an amazing flick for the ages, it brought back the flim noir murder mystery but in such a clever and unexpect way.
The writer of this movie also wrote and directed a very good movie called "The Way of The Gun" with Ryan Phillipe, Benecio Del Toro, James Caan, Juliette Lewis and Taye Diggs that I think you would love!
when I saw the thumbnail, I thought oh sees gonna love this one!
I do not know if this is world wide terminology or not, but in America we call these kinds of films "Who done its". There is a movie called Basic (2003) with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson that is a military crime "who done it" movie that is excellent. Also a movie called Memento (2000) with Guy Pearce is amazing.
I'm in the minority that the cripple is actually the layer of Kobayashi, who is actually Keyser Soze.
Fantastic job Mary👍👍👍.I have seen this movie around twenty times and still love it.it throws a lot of twists at you.but you did a fine job figuring it out.😁😁😁😁
I remember watching this in the cinema and a friend later told me that when he went to see it someone hand used a permanent marker and made an arrow pointing down to Kevin Spacey and wrote 'Its Him'.
If you haven't watch "LA Confidential" I think that is another one you would really enjoy. Star studded cast.
Mary, I loved your reaction. Another favorite crime film is *A History of Violence*. Believe me, you’ll love it.
Top 10 all-time films ever. Great twist, amazing actors.
Two words: Gone Girl.
I remember when Taub rented this movie, and Foreman told him "Kevin Spacey is Kaiser Soze" ajajaj
Clue (1985): Comedy gold!
Primal Fear (1996)
The Thomas Crown Affair (1999): The ending is awesome! It's not a whodunnit, it's a howdhedoit!
Shutter Island (2010)
Prisoners (2013)
Knives Out (2019)
one of the most rewatchable movies ever
Another great movie with Kevin Spacey and Chas Palmeteri also starring Sean Penn, the late Gary Shandling, and Anna Panquin is "Hurly Burly," might want to keep that in your wheelhouse for later.
You got it right! 🏵💐
You thought you had it mostly wrong, but then SWIGGITY SWOOSTIE! 😂
Clue (1985) is quite good. I think you'll enjoy it.
When you realized what was happening, that was the best! When I realized what was happening first, it was the greatest realization ever. Thank you for that reaction!!
Great job figuring (guessing 🤣) that out early. Fun reaction.
It’s in my top 5 of all time 👍👏🏻😍🇬🇧
I feel like I haven't seen you in years. Definitely one of my favorite movie.
this was my first movie when I bought a Blu-ray playroom. Schindler’s List was number 2
Good who done it movies leave enough hints that plant a seed in your head whether you can put it together or not you get that exhilaration with big reveal at the end.
Mary, another film that has an unpredictable twist ending is VANILLA SKY (2001 film) starring TOM CRUISE. This movie will keep you wondering all the time and will totally blow your mind.
What a fun reaction! One of my favorite movies. Watched when it was new and the ending was like no other movie I had seen before. I would like to recommend another movie that I remember thinking was great, never seen it since. The name of that movie is Basic. Another good movie I've not seen anyone react to is The Negotiator with Samuel Jackson. ✌️❤️
I forget where I read it, but supposedly Gabriel Byrne, who played Dean Keaton, said in an interview that when he finished reading the script, he thought his character really was Keyser Soze. 😎
I’m very convinced Kevin spacey’s character in this movie is a true psychopath
He completely calmly toys with the police in interrogation rooms and makes his story the center of all their focus which also plays on his ability to persuade them and play the victim on top of being under an alias being completely cold blooded when it came to getting the job done and a puppet master that got his own crew killed and works as an underworld legend while maintaining his persona as verbal, masterful con artist seems normal and charming with his storytelling convinces them to let him go but plays with him the whole time making it up with words around the room
Kevin spacey and the writers sold me on this as a very precise portrayal
For a super fun who done it mystery, I suggest "Clue". Or for crime dramas by Martin Scorse "The Departed" and "Casino" and Michael Mann's "Heat" and "Collateral". Trust me, these are GOATs
strong reveal, nice reaction. Good work as always Mari
For a real crime movie, check out In Cold Blood. A novel was written about the crime, and the movie follows the crime novel quite well. The novelist interviewed the criminals extensively to write the novel. Some of the scenes were filmed on site, too.
Next crime movie you should see: L.A. Confidential (with Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger and Kevin Spacey)
My mom also guessed the twist right. When I asked her how she figured it out she was just like:
C‘mon honey, it’s Kevin Spacey. He can’t be good. 😅
So proud and happy for you when you guessed the end. Great job, cool reaction!
Yes. You are one of a few who stuck with the notion of Verbal being the honcho. Good for you. Great movie. If you watch it again and don't look for clues, you can still enjoy the reveal.
Mary, I am in the USA and have been looking for a rare OOP cd from the instrumental surf band The Surfites. After looking the world over I found one in BELGIUM. Good on you (or your countrymen at least)!
I think you're the third reactor I've seen guess that Verbal is Keyser Soze then completely talk themselves out of it.
Priceless!
