The Usual Suspects

Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Benicio del Toro, Kevin Pollak and Kevin Spacey star in this inventive, engrossing crime story as a bunch of guys brought together for a police line-up. Finding themselves alone together after the cops are through with them, they decide to plan a crime. This plot about a multi-million dollar drug deal gets even stranger because somehow, amidst all the intricately placed flashbacks, these eccentric criminals end up causing a catastrophic explosion.
