    As a lover of old movies I can tell you: it was always rare. Very few of the gems of the past didn't telegraph where they were going. I don't mean a gimmicky twist, but where the whole movie changes dramatically midway through. There are a few ("Lady from Shanghai" blew me away when I first saw it) but movies are almost always on a model railroad where you can see the whole route right from the start.

      The "off the rails" to Parasite was indeed ***. I'm looking at it like a "Get Out" or as you said "Ocean's Eleven," maybe a "Confidence."

      But, then....alright, here we go.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Speaking of Ben Affleck, does literally ever actor get the "teach disadvantaged kids how to play basketball (because they really need help from a rich white guy on that)" movie at some point in their careers?

                That movie wasnt awful...mainly because it is way darker than you expect and the ending is not exactly as cliche as the previews make it out to be. Actually you think it is going exactly where the previews make it seem until you realize you are only like an hour into the film

                  In that vein, nobody will ever top Brad Pitt Jesus for White Savior in Twelve Years a Slave. He's even a carpenter.

                      Angel Has Fallen:
                      Mike Banning is framed for the attempted assassination of the President and must evade his own agency and the FBI as he tries to uncover the real threat.

                      Great main cast, but paint by numbers conspiracy. You can pick out the villains before the hero does, you know how it ends, it's a matter of how it gets there.

                      Grab some popcorn, forget about life for a while. It won't challenge you, but it's entertaining.

                          On par. I was expecting more, with the cast involved, but the script limited their abilities. It's a Saturday Afternoon Time Killer.
