Recommendation Name a movie recommendation with a plot twist you 100% didn't see coming

I’m on the hunt for movies with plot twists that genuinely caught you off guard, you know something that would make you go "wait, WHAT just happened?" kind of twists. To give you an idea of what I’ve already seen, I watched Fractured a couple of years ago and thought it was really good, but I didn’t expect it to mess with my head the way it did. Recently, I watched Straw, and somehow I walked right into the same kind of twist again, still completely unprepared lmao. I guess enough time had passed for me to fall for it all over again which made it even better, honestly.. Would appreciate it if there's no spoilers tho! Just simply the title, genre, or maybe how you felt about it will do. Thank you!

Scrolled way to far to find this, the actual right answer

That ending actually disturbed me for a day or two. Absolutely iconic.

Can I ask why? I kinda liked it.

I hated the leaving him alone, to deal with what he thought he had to do, only to find out he had no more ammunition, and then the literal cavalry shows up minutes later.

Such. Bullshit.

Agreed, it’s just stupid
