Inspired from a movie currently playing: :rolleyes: It is a suspense/murder mystery, the cast is bunch of unknowns, and the only actor you recognize is in a minor supporting role. Can you guess who the bad guy/murderer is? :smack: Can you name that movie? 😛 ---

Ooh! Ooh! It’s _Because of Winn-Dixie_, isn’t it? I don’t trust that dog with the shifty eyes. ---

Wait… by ‘currently playing’ do you mean on TeeVee (as I interpreted it) or in theatres? ---

> [@FinnAgain](#): > > The Usual Suspects. :dubious: How does the…errr…actual bad guy count as a minor supporting role? He’s on screen more than anyone else. Hell, he’s the narrator. ---

> [@FinnAgain](#): > > The Usual Suspects. Unknowns? Benicio Del Toro, Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Pollack, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Chaz Palminteri, Dan Hedaya? All unknowns, right. I doubt seriously he’s talking about the Usual Suspects. ---

Is it _Clue_? (Forgive me, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it and I forget who’s in it.) ---

Sorry for the double post, but I just realized it’s supposed to be a movie that’s playing currently. Funny how you realize that _after_ you hit the reply button. :smack:
