Bryan Singer, perhaps more known for his direction for the X-MEN franchise, brings this brilliant script penned by Christopher McQuarrie to the screen back in '95. It's definitely a macho joint that makes you think and those types of movies are right up my alley. Consider this movie the antithesis of any standard romantic comedy. There's no romance, not even flirting, no women to speak of, the plot's not predictable, and, oh yeah, its an actual good movie. The plot goes a little like this: a boat has been destroyed, criminals are dead, and the key to this mystery lies with the only survivor and his twisted, convoluted story beginning with five career crooks in a seemingly random police lineup. That lone survivor is Kevin Spacey in an absolutely AMAZING performance. The rest of 'em aren't too bad either. Gabriel Byrne. Benicio. One of the Baldwin brothers. This movie's a fun time, so I'll leave you with one of its most famous lines. WHO IS KEYSER SOZE?!?!?
