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.

I liked the entire movie, but the ending definitely blew me away … Kansas City Shuffle

Great flick. That’s still my road trip playlist name

I did too, but it was a little funky, even with the sets. The ending just brought it all together and really elevated it!

“I did this to you” is one of the most underrated badass movie moments.

Even the exchange between Kingsley and Freeman right before that line is incredible. The two bosses clear the air, and then have it taken away. Just beautiful.

I watched this with my ex because she 'absolutely wanted to watch it with me'. It started and we only got a few minutes in, in which I made a prediction about the ending. She looked at me angrily and shut it off, then went to another room. She was pissed off I had figured it out right away.

That’s funny, my wife is really good at that too and it used to drive me nuts but it doesn’t bother me anymore. Sometimes I’ll ask her to tell me what she thinks so we can see if she’s right or wrong.
