The Writing King Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

Actor: Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey won Best Supporting Actor for The Usual Suspects and Best Actor for American Beauty, and spent a decade as one of the most reliable character leads in American film.

The technique was withholding. Se7en, The Usual Suspects and L.A. Confidential all depend on the audience not knowing what he knows, and he was unusually good at concealing information while appearing forthcoming.

He also ran the Old Vic in London for eleven years.

Multiple allegations of sexual misconduct emerged from 2017, which ended his career in film and television. He was found not liable in a civil trial and acquitted in a criminal trial in the UK, and has not returned to significant work.

Two detectives stand in rain-soaked streets of a nameless city, surrounded by darkness and decay.

Se7en (1995) Review

Se7en (1995) rates 9 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. The rain never stops, the city has no name, and the killer wins exactly as planned. Fincher's second film, made after a first one he has disowned.

Five men stand in a police lineup, with one seated and others standing at different heights against a white wall with

Benicio del Toro

The Usual Suspects (1995) Review

The Usual Suspects (1995) rates 8 out of 10 on the rewatch scale. A confession improvised from the noticeboard behind the detective's head. The twist survives knowing it, which is the only test that matters.

L.A. Confidential (1997) film poster

L.A. Confidential (1997)

Curtis Hanson's 1997 neo-noir on 1950s LAPD corruption. The rare adult crime film that respects its audience.

American Beauty (1999) film poster

American Beauty (1999)

Sam Mendes's 1999 suburban satire. Kevin Spacey as a midlife-crisis dad, Annette Bening as the wife.

A Bug's Life (1998) film poster

A Bug’s Life (1998) Review

The 1998 production represented his second feature directorial work and the broader Pixar studio's continued development as substantial animated production company. Flik is an ant inventor whose inventions consistently fail and damage the broader colony operations.

Baby Driver (2017) film poster

Baby Driver (2017) Review

Edgar Wright's music-driven heist masterpiece. Seen it more than five times.
