She’s living with the police captain, who lost his own daughter years earlier.ĭo you smell a rat? Because this movie is full of them! The story follows Colin Sullivan – who is working for mob boss Frank Costello as a mole in the Boston PD – and Billy Costigan, an undercover cop trying to infiltrate Costello’s gang. Patrick later learns that police detectives staged Amanda’s kidnapping to make some quick cash.
In a tragic turn of events, the little girl dies after a fight breaks out during the trade. They eventually come into contact with the kidnappers and set up an exchange for the girl’s life. Sometimes twists can take us to very dark places – and that’s exactly what happens in “Gone Baby Gone.” Private investigators Patrick and Angie join up with the police department and start working the case of Amanda McCready, a little girl who was abducted from her home. Gotta love the con within a con.within a con. Everyone dies.Except they don’t! Turns out, Agent Polk is ALSO a con-man, and Gondorff and Hooker staged the whole thing. When the FBI raids the parlor, Gondorff shoots Hooker for his betrayal, and then Polk shoots Gondorff. This film has numerous players, fake identities and motives to keep track of, but one of the biggest surprises comes when FBI Agent Polk forces Hooker to play informant and give Gondorff up. Paul Newman and Robert Redford play Henry Gondorff and Johnny Hooker – two grifters trying to con a mob boss by creating a sham horserace betting parlor. Heist movies! They’re chock-full of twists – but “The Sting” delights us more than most. But the final reveal – that the Adelaide we know is actually a tethered who switched places with her human counterpart as a child – is truly jaw-dropping. Government conspiracy gone horribly wrong is already a great twist. Finally, before the gorgeous final fight scene, Red – Adelaide’s tethered – reveals the government created the tethered to control humans, but something bad happened and they were abandoned. All we know is they look like Adelaide and her family – just a lot freakier. When we first meet the “tethered” in this horror show, we have absolutely no idea who they are or where they came from. Jordan Peele’s second feature film had big shoes to fill – and on the plot twist front, he delivered. Adam murdered Fenton, because – in a shocking second twist – Adam can really sense evil in people, and he knew Fenton was responsible for the killings. Turns out, the Fenton we meet is ACTUALLY Adam. If you think this is creepy, you’re right – and it’s about to get worse. Fenton says Adam thought he’d been chosen by God to get rid of “demons,” and could see a person’s wrongdoings simply by touching them – a claim Fenton did not believe.

In “Frailty,” Fenton Meiks tells the FBI his recently deceased brother, Adam, is responsible for a series of unsolved killings. Stolen identities are always great fodder for plot twists, but this one goes above and beyond. But in a second twist, as Ripley’s plans are about to be thwarted, Dickie’s father shows up and absolves Ripley of any blame – right before he commits another murder. Some friend, right? Ripley digs himself so far into a hole, it seems inevitable he’ll be caught.
Things escalate until in a shocking turn of events, Ripley kills Dickie – and then proceeds to steal his identity. Ripley is quickly swept up in Dickie’s extravagant lifestyle, befriending and becoming obsessed with him. This thriller follows Ripley, who’s sent to Italy by a wealthy man to convince the man’s son, Dickie, to return. Italy – filled with golden beaches, delicious food – and murder? If you’re Tom Ripley, that’s definitely on the list. At least Ransom and his sweater got what was coming to them – a face full of puke. So, Harlan didn’t take morphine after all. Turns out, Harlan’s grandson Ransom switched the medications BEFORE Marta did. The story unfolds in Agatha Christie-inspired style (plus a truly incredible cable knit look from Chris Evans). The first twist comes when the audience learns the victim, Harlan Thwombey, slit his own throat to protect Marta – his nurse – who accidentally mixed up his medication, giving him a lethal dose of morphine. This whodunnit begins as all good mysteries do – with a rich dead guy, a greedy family, and a will. If we missed your favorite double-twist, let us know in the comments below.
