he chase is on. As the action swerves from New York City to California, the group begins to discover that they are no longer working for themselves, but a mysterious behind-the-scenes individual, known only by his messenger, Kobayashi (Pete Postlethwaite). It seems the group's services are needed to destroy $91 million worth of cocaine on a cargo ship. Upon completion of this task, the ominous, threatening presence of Kobayashi and his master will be gone, and the five can resume their lives as they see fit. No one knows for sure what to make of this mission, yet each knows that it is one which must be completed, for they do not wish to have to answer to Kobayashi. Superbly acted, The Usual Suspects jerks the viewer back and forth between various theories throughout the movie. This group of then-unknown actors delivers in many ways, and the viewer is glued to his seat right up until the thrilling conclusion. If you have already had the pleasure of viewing this movie, see it again. If not, be sure to give this modern classic a chance. These five suspects are anything but, and this movie is definitely not the usual fare. Cast:Stephen Baldwin.......... Spencer McManus Gabriel Byrne.......... Dean Keaton Benicio Del Toro..........
