This 1995 movie was made for just 6 million. Even in 1995 that was not much for a movie. This movie was quite complex, a bit confusing, and wonderful.
The story is told mostly in flashback by Roger " Verbal" Kint. Roger is a small time criminal who has been one of only two survivors of a shoot out and boat burning in Los Angles Harbor.
This is complex. As Roger is interrogated by U S Customs Agent Dave Kujan played wonderfully by Chazz Palminteri we learn more about how this boat was caused to be blown up. The story goes back to several different crimes. The twists and turns are so complex and everchanging ( as Roger's story changes under questioning ) that one has to watch the movie and watch it with great attention to detail.
Still even doing that in the end you are left wondering if what you think you saw and deduced is correct. With the story changing and the ending coming with a twist even now after watching it some questions are unanswered. This movie assumes we are smart enough to follow along and mature enough to accept that in life sometimes the only thing you do know is that you do not know.
Spacey who won Best Supporting Actor is brilliant in his role and the rest of the cast beyond Palminteri is strong as well. Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Pollack, Stephen Baldwin and Benecio Del Toro stand out as the other " suspects" in Roger's group.
Do not try to read, text, or have conversations with this movie. Be prepared to pay attention. You will not be disapointed. Great movie.
