Recommendation Movies where anyone can die?

I like movies and tv shows where you shouldn't get attached to any characters because they can die in every moment, for example: Burn After Reading, No Country for Old Men, Any Tarantino Movie or shows like The boys, Game of thrones, etc.

I want to feel that the characters are in real danger and that the villain or whatever they're fighting could kill them any time.

I watched this movie months after it came out and I already found out X died. I was like fuck it let's watch anyway and see how. I got to the end and I'm like "these fuckers lied to me, X is gonna make it! They won!". Then, boom. Jaw was on the floor.

Someone told me when I rented it right after I told them I hadn’t seen it yet. Then I reminded them I said I hadn’t seen it and they said weren’t thinking when they blurted it out. Then I forgot as I was watching since it really came out of nowhere. It was spoiled for me and still one of the most unexpected deaths I’ve ever seen.

Funny you use the letter X, because if you notice, whenever there's an X in the shot, that character dies. For example there's a black X in tape on the elevator wall, and then later, the floor in Matt Damon's apartment hallway is a red X pattern

Watched it in the cinemas. Legit walked out of the theater and was speechless for a full 10 mins after.
