2.The Prestige
" workforce down one of the good plot twist in cinematic chronicle . They state you throughout the movie that Borden is using a double — Borden himself even hints at it after they watch the Chinese magician — but it seems too sluttish . But like most magic tricks , Christopher Nolandoes an incredible job of creating this cinematic dexterity of hand to produce an eery tension with the characters so you know that something is n’t quite right . When you finally get to the end and agnize that Borden has a twin — two man partake the exact same spirit this whole time — it is judgement - blowing ! This will always remain one of my absolute favorite movies . "

3.The Village
" Listen , not to blare my own horn , but I am insanely adept at figuring out the twists of movie way before it ’s disclose , so when one actually surprises me I ’m always impressed .

I remember people allege it was such a stunned twist , but not a single one of them saw it come up . "

5.The Usual Suspects
" The plot gimmick is n’t simply who Keyser Soze really is … it is that PLUS the fact that the taradiddle Kevin Spacey ’s reference ' Verbal ' Klint has just told the cop is made up off the top of his head ( Verbal Klint is theorize to be an naturalized con artist ) .
We see the shock on the cop ’s human face as he agnize he ’s been taken for a ride … and we agnize that we have been , too . In a way of life , it draw US into the story , because we share the cop ’s emotion . It bewilder me that some people DISMISSUsual Suspectsand say the ending is a disappointment , sort of like AND - THEY - WOKE - UP - AND - IT - WAS - ALL - A - DREAM . I guess some people just get it and others do n’t . "
