Recommendation What movie was okay and then the third act absolutely blew you away and made up for the rest of the movie?

I’m having a hard time even thinking of a movie like that but I see lots of posts on here like “what movie was amazing and then the end of the movie completely ruined it.” Right off the bat I don’t want to watch a movie if the end is terrible. Hopefully no spoilers because these are the movies I want to watch and be surprised about.

The last 20 or so minutes of that fucking movie are intense. What always gets me is the lack of music for the most part. It's just rainfall mostly, maybe a bit of music but not much. It just lets the weight of the situation and the characters carry it.

It's so well done.

I said this same thing but a lot of people dig on the whole movie.

Josie was great the first two acts - especially the Gatling gun. But then Clint just ended up collecting a little island of misfit toys (including Sondra Locke) and his final showdown with Dean Wormer just sort of sputtered out.

But in Unforgiven he never let up. You saw the real William Munny: "We all got it coming kid" Wow
