In 1995 neither Christopher McQuarrie or Bryan Singer were big names, but The Usual Suspects changed that over night. One would set up the X-men universe and give us the Queen biopic that had been sitting in development hell for years. The other would write some of the best action scripts around (and coming soon), then steer the monster that is the latter Mission Impossible films.

But its the ending that keeps people returning to this classic (despite/because of Kevin Spacey's fall from grace). This film gave us one of cinema's most amazing plot twists, because everyone in 1995 was asking either "what's in the box?" or "Who is Keyser Soze?".

So what happens when you get two teenagers - one who won't admit she's wrong, and one who hates character movies - and show them an amazing character study that proves you were wrong right up to the last 3 minutes!!!

Listen to us argue and discuss THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

Enjoy
