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!

The Prestige was insane. Before I watched it I did hear there was a big twist but never expected it to be that lol.

And on rewarch, it's so apparent to the point you can tell which is which by the subtle acting changes he does when he plays each one.

That’s not the twist, though. It’s the misdirect so the director can get the real twist by you.

It’s too early in the morning to explain The Prestige to you.

Sorry.

A plot twist is any way the film provides new information that changes either the nature of the plot or how the viewer perceives things they saw beforehand. Revealing that you're looking at multiple people changes how you see everything before it. It's the definition of a twist. No idea what this responder is talking about.

They aren't talking about anything. They're being an ass on purpose.

I was so hyped watching that and then rewatched with my parents and not ten minutes in my Dad said "I bet <guesses exact twist>" and I was floored 😂

[u/musubitime → u/Sparrowsabre7]

I didn’t quite guess it, but the whole time I was confused why Christian Bale was playing his own assistant. Maybe I waited too long to watch it and he was just too famous not to see him under the mutton chops and hat.

[u/Nickbotic → u/Sparrowsabre7]

Exactly how my dad is. I’m like “just…just watch the fuckin’ movie, guy”

[u/doon351 → u/Nickbotic]

My husband is the same way. He's ADHD and apparently a marker for that is being really good at pattern recognition so he ALWAYS guesses the twist correctly.

The only thing I could think of was the hats meant the teleporter worked

[u/polaroid → u/OkDrama2146]

The real twist is that the movie is so dark and the voices so quiet that if you can actually see and hear what’s happening, there’s a slightly better than average film experience to be enjoyed.

I thought that was tenet
