The Usual Suspects is one of the movies that defined ’90s cinema, not only for its genius storytelling and shocking twist at the end, but also for its stellar cast, from singer Chazz Palminteri to Newcomer Giancarlo Esposito has it all.
However, trying to remake a classic like The Usual Suspects is almost like walking a tightrope. There were a lot of tough decisions to make, but none more so than how to re-enact the movie. However, there are so many talented actors out there that if given roles like this, they would completely compete with the original cast.
Redfoot has very little screen time, but it’s important to see him in the suspect’s journey. This role was taken by Peter Greene, although he only appeared for two minutes, he caught the attention and stole the scene. This scene is also important because it heralds the end and increases tension between the gangs. Somehow, Cillian Murphy looks exactly like Green, and he’s the only actor who can deliver Redfoot’s lines the way Green does.

Kobayashi – Giancarlo Esposito
Giancarlo Esposito actually played FBI agent Jack Bell in “The Usual Suspects,” but in the 25 years since the film’s release, Esposito has found its brand, and shaped its way. is a villain full of intrigue and despicable.
While Kobayashi is not the main antagonist of the film, but rather the voice of Kathleen Sauze, Esposito would be perfect. Kobayashi presents himself very well, uses critical thinking when talking to suspects, and possesses an incredibly deep vocabulary, like many of Esposito’s characters.
Jack Bell – John David Washington
Newly said to be the best sci-fi movie of the 21st century, John David Washington is perfect as Agent Jack Bell, taking on the role of Esposito in the original book. The character is unprofessional, sane and well-kept. Bale is an ordinary FBI agent who does his job well, and while the role doesn’t have much depth, Washington is a perfect fit for the role.
Fred Finster – Brad Pitt
Since Fenster exists only to be killed by Keyser Soze, which is one of the worst things Keyser has ever done, Benecio Del Toro made the character more three-dimensional because his original idea was to do it. make the character humorously ambiguous. It’s reminiscent of Brad Pitt’s signature Irish accent in Snatch, and given that the two actors look uncanny, it’s great to see Pitt play Finster.
McManus – Robert Pattinson
On the surface, Pattinson seemed a little innocent to be cast as McManus, a grumpy, perhaps counterintuitive professional thief. But we’re now years away from Twilight Pattinson, and he’s been in so many films that he’s proven himself to be the perfect man for the role. In “Good Times” it’s one of those movies where he’ll make you believe he’s going to be the great Batman, with bleached blonde hair, a messy beard, and a whole movie trying to hide. Avoid the police.
Dave Kooyan – Robert De Niro
The animated police characters are one of the film’s immature ways, but when Cuyan interrogates Verbal in his office, they have one of the film’s most accomplished scenes and the dialogue is fantastic.
While De Niro has nothing to prove, the actor has shown in Joker the ability to interrogate and control conversations with chaotic characters. De Niro may be much older than Chazz Palminteri, who was 43 when he got the role, but he could still take on the role, and De Niro was even one of the actors originally considered for the role. this role.
Hockney – Lakeith Stanfield
A boomer who sometimes bad-mouths someone when he shouldn’t, Hockney is the least memorable on the list of suspects, despite Kevin Pollack’s stellar performance. While his characters are usually gentle and restrained, Lakeith Stanfield would be great as Hockney, as his role in Uncut Gems saw him scream, move, and argue constantly. turned completely to the usual suspects. Since Hockney has always had a feud with McManus, it would be nice to see Stanfield take on Pattinson.
Dean Keaton – Michael Shannon
While it can be said that all suspects are looking for their own interests, gang leader Dean Keaton is clearly the most selfish and secretive. With Michael Shannon perhaps the most stoic, unreadable face of any actor out there, Keaton is a perfect fit. Shannon was the same age as Gabriel Byrne when he first played the role in 1995, and they look alike.
Mouth – Paul Dano
The bearer of some of the most unique quotes of the ’90s, Verbal Kint seems to be one of the most pathetic figures in cinematic history (well, until the last big reveal), and no one lives a single life. better life by playing games than Paul Kint Dano’s unhappy character. Whether it’s Alex Jones in “The Prisoner” or Seth in “Looper,” Dano has proven time and time again that he can master introverted characters.
