L one of the deepest pleasures of detective in the novel and film, is that of having at the end of the story, the feeling of having been duped, led to erroneous deductions, until the revelation final. I must say, however, that I'm a good loser only if they were not put before a case can not be resolved. The novels in which the player can not get a correct idea of the ins and outs for the simple reason that the author knowingly hides the most important elements I do not normally give this exhilarating pleasure of having been deceived with which j open this message.
No, what I really like is to have been fooled when I had everything under his eyes. And flagrantly, and more. 
And one of the largest successes in the field, my eyes, is The Usual Suspects (1995), the Bryan Singer film a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie . A plot of drawers simmered with onions (Christopher McQuarrie won an Oscar, among others, for its screenplay), cross-evidence that bring more fog than light in the case of dialogues fed black humor, characters remarkably designed and served by brilliant actors (special mention to Kevin Spacey aptly rewarded for this role, including an Oscar), and a final revelation that gives you a blow punched in the stomach. Just before you start cheering, after regaining your breath.
The film, which bears the character of Keyser Söze the Top brains of crime is a huge sham, in which the viewer's attention is drawn to the dialogue, the narrative report, to the point 'sometimes forget the visuals. Our eye, beneath which lie the clues, then do not play its oversight role, and these are the words that instill in our minds what we eventually do to the truth.
Watching the film a second time, I found myself as having a number conjuring: I know the fall of the number, I was attentive to every detail (or at least I thought so), and bam!, I fell back into the panel. I am not an expert in the theory of film scripts, but I guess that concocted by Christopher McQuarrie to draw all the strings of the finest kind: the deception arose from the subjective narrative (in which the spectator, leaving her prudence , can only agree), the narrative ellipses, returns back in time and geography, and this room police, despite the changes of place and time, remains the center of the story to the point that we are almost in a camera.
The Usual Suspects draw a large theater of illusions. In the words of Verbal Kint (played by Kevin Spacey), "The greatest trick the Devil ever Pulled WAS convincing man he didn't exist", borrowing the words of Charles Baudelaire ("the greatest trick the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist ").
