The point is that he tells a story full of details, but the verifiable part is verifiable one by one, and the most important lies are left in a lot of truth. False is true when it is true.

The brain burns so much

The structure is exquisite, and the performance is superb, but I have not grasped the tension of the drama from beginning to end, and I cannot put it into the story even if I predict the ending. The creators who pioneered this model of play were geniuses, but I don’t think Brian Singer did his best, and later imitators are not all botched. The types of stories in the world are limited. In addition to the core creativity, how to reorganize the existing elements, how to enrich the details of the story and enhance the credibility, is the key to whether it can impress the audience.
Kobayashi: Before you... do me in, Mr. McManus, you will let me finish my business with Ms. Finneran first, won't you?
Keaton: What did you say?
Kobayashi: Edie Finneran. She's upstairs in my office for an extradition deposition. I requested that she be put on the case personally. She flew in yesterday. No matter. Kill away, Mr. McManus.
Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
