Who exactly is this Keyser Soze, this vicious criminal genius? The suspect certainly isn't a clumsy, disabled, frail criminal known only as Verbal Kint, who can't even look the investigator in the eye during questioning. That's right, I forgot. As a result of his sleight of hand, Kevin Spacey won an Oscar, and the plot twist in The Usual Suspects is largely regarded as the best in contemporary neo-noir.
