Where did the murderer, by whom the character Keyser Söze was inspired, commit his murders?
Keyser Söze Keyser Söze ( ) is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 1995 film "The Usual Suspects", written by Christopher McQuarrie and directed by Bryan Singer. According to petty con artist Roger "Verbal" Kint (Kevin Spacey), Söze is a crime lord whose ruthlessness and influence have acquired a legendary, even mythical, status among police and criminals alike. Further events in the story make these accounts unreliable, and, in a twist ending, a police sketch identifies Kint's face as Söze. The character was inspired by real life murderer John List and the spy thriller "No Way Out", which featured a shadowy KGB mole.
