The Usual Suspect


The sudden death of Enron founder, Ken Lay, is one of those plot developments that audiences would reject if it were writtten in a movie or a play. I can hear the complaints in my head.

"We wanted to see him sufffer in prison!"

"I don't believe he would just have a heart attack right before his sentencing. That's so Hollywood."

"I sort of liked it, it's very dramatic. Not realistic but dramatic."

Myself, I wish he were still alive. I wish he hadn't bankrupted Enron and destroyed all those lives. I wish he would have made choices that would have put his life in a different direction, a positive direction. All that waste, all that destruction and poof, he's gone. Just like Keyser Soze.
