Stand clear from this thread if you havnt seen any of the two...

Both movies had a twist revolving around similiar characters(keyser soze & aaron/roy)who pretended to be something they werent which was innocent and vulnerable.....

Imma go with Primal Fear the split personality really had me going not to say usual suspect ending was anything less than surprising but how edward norton delibrately gave him self away in thee end(in a slick way at that)only to poke fun at richard gear was priceless,cold,and somewhat funny all at the same time...

So which ending do you prefer

    You can't be serious...the Usual Suspects ending is damn near pop culture at this point in time. Its iconic, in the same vein as Godfathers intro music...

    just because something is pop culture doesn't always been it was better...


    scarface is arguably the top pop culture crime flick of all time but so far from the best crime movie it's laughable......

    norton killed that ? ......

    the part where he started clapping in the cell and Richard Gere standing there looking all butt hurt was awesome cinema....? blew your mind simply because no one saw it coming...

    the whole set up to Uual suspects was that someone was going to be ultimately be revealed to be Keyser Söze, and the fact that there were so many hints dropped along the way made it a fun movie to where you were genuinely amused to find out that verbal was him all along....


    but the line...

    There never was an Aaron ... counselor



    that ? killed it...

    I stand by my vote.. but because of this ? is the reason why it's a legitimate question to favor Primal Fear.

    Are you seriously going to sit there and tell me that all that ? you just kicked is coming close to Keyser Soze?? Or that storyboard scene? Usual Suspects has been bit by everybody from Jay Z to SNL. Split personality has been done over and over. Show me one single movie that has anything even remotely close the end sequence of Usual Suspects.

    i voted US....

    verbal/keyser not only played the police but other well established criminals. he was right in front of all of them doing his dirt an plotting the whole time.
    he had the cops believing it was someone else while tricking the criminals int helping him ? the guy who knew who he was.

    all that on top of the that he gave no fukk and killed his own family.

    this a real close one....Usual suspects one of them movies that's over hyped due to a great ending

    at the end norton's acting gives primal fear the win for me
