20 Greatest Final Shots In Movies Ever
15. The Usual Suspects (1995)
Though the one-two punch of Bryan Singer and Kevin Spacey might make this ingeniously-conceived thriller a little tough to watch nowadays, there's little argument that its climactic revelation - that the enigmatic baddie Keyser Soze was indeed Verbal Kint (Spacey) all along - is one of the best-wrought twists in cinema history.
It's all tied together by a fantastically-edited final sequence, in which Kint's deception is fully revealed, before he escapes the clutches of Agent Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) and disappears into the ether.
The final shot replays a sequence from earlier in the movie where Kint explains Soze's shadowy nature - "And like that...he's gone" - before we cut to black.
That is how you end a movie.
