The Usual suspectsAugust 19, 2002 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
having been a fan of the film for a number of years finding Christopher McQuarrie book was a godsend. The interview is informative and gives us a great insight into the film. The reminder of the book is devoted to the final draft of the script and it brings the film to life. How many of us have tried to work out who is Keyser Soze? now try and find the lines which weren't used or went to different actors. You won't be able to put this book down. I guarantee it.
An absolutley must have for any Usual Suspects fan.January 24, 1999 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
An amazing screenplay to an amazing movie. This is the original screenplay that Christopher McQuarrie sent out to all production companies-- an awesome read. Includes a 26 page interview with the writer, McQuarrie on production notes (i.e. how he came up with the story, how he came up with the characters and their names, casting notes, and much more). The screenplay is great, and it's most intersesting to follow it with the movie and note all of the changes that were made from the original. This is a definite must buy for anyone that likes movies (if you haven't seen the movie, go watch it right now and then buy the book!). You are not a true Usual Suspects fan until you own this.
