This labyrinthine crime thriller is one of those movies that is best approached knowing as little about the plot as possible, all the better to enjoy its fiendish twists and turns. Suffice to say the film made director Bryan Singer one of the hippest young film-makers in Hollywood and features an impressive ensemble cast, including Pete Postlethwaite, Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin and Benicio Del Toro. The stand-out performance, though, is Kevin Spacey’s Oscar-winning portrayal of lame conman Verbal Kint. 1995, 18, 105MIN
