Best Sinister War Films that are a Complete Sob Story – Maimovie
2021-06-08
It’s been a while since I watched a good film with a plot twist shocking enough to redefine my idea of cinema. That’s what good movies do, I think: reinvent the boundaries of film, bending the rules of plot to offer viewers an otherworldly experience. Plots are meant to be played with, to be interspersed with shocking twists that leaves the viewer on edge, biting their nails, nutty and hair-frayed from the brilliance of it all. I remember how jumpy and nutty I felt, watching Leonardo DiCaprio’s spine-chilling performance in Shutter Island. I couldn’t watch another film for days—I was that awestruck and shocked.
So, we here at Maimovie bring you 10 of the “nuttiest”, craziest, and most mind-bending movies featuring “shocking twists” that redefine cinema in the most innovative, original ways possible. These movies have everything you want—mind-boggling plots, suspense, absolutely unexpected plot twists—and then some more. This is all done using our patented Keytalk algorithm, which parses through our ever-growing database of 600,000+ movies to provide you with the most comprehensive, customized film rankings you can find online.
Whether it’s Leo’s schizophrenic performance or Jodie Foster’s 2005 classic Flightplan, these cinematic wonders will have you questioning your sanity by the time the credit roll up. And make sure to check out the Maimovie app: you’ll be shocked at the things it can do.
