Trance brings us tons of twists
and turns in the plot as multiple layers of backstabbing occur.
Movies with unexpected turns have become a favorite of audiences.
It’s a difficult task to make sure that the twist is unpredictable,
but when it is done correctly, double-cross heist films make great
additions to movie history. Here, we lay out some of our favorite
twisty-turny heist films.
From ACADEMY
AWARD®-Winning director Danny Boyle* (Slumdog Millionaire) comes an
“exhilarating brain-twister” (New York Post)! After a blow to the
head during his attempted robbery of a $27 million Goya painting,
Simon (James McAvoy, X-Men: First Class), a fine-art auctioneer,
awakens to find that the painting – and his memory – are missing.
Forced by his ruthless crime partner Franck (Vincent Cassel, Black
Swan) to undergo hypnosis, Simon enters into a deadly love triangle
with his seductive hypnotist (Rosario Dawson, Sin City). As the plot
twists, the line between reality and dream becomes blurred in this
fast-paced, unpredictable, “sexy and suspenseful” (Empire)
thriller.
Heat
A series of unexpected changes puts the
police close on the trail of Neil McCauley and his crew as they plan
yet another bank robbery. After a brutal beating to the crew, only a
few are left to carry out the plan. McCauley goes through a lot of
difficulties and even develops a mutual understanding with Lieutenant
Hanna. In the end, this heist may prove to be too difficult and could
be the last string for the crew.
The Bank Job
Terry, Kevin, Dave, Bambas, and Guy
thought they had it made when they were given the chance to rob a
London bank for millions. The job seemed simple enough for the crew,
who made plans to dig a tunnel and empty the bank’s safety deposit
boxes. Things got a little more complicated once they realized one of
the boxes held scandalous photos of British Royalty, Princess
Margaret. Through a series of twists and turns, members of the crew
were tracked down and only a few made it out alive.
Training Day
Jake Hoyt had no
idea what he was getting himself into when he started his first day
of work as a narcotics officer. His new partner, Detective Alonzo
Harris, has planned to steal millions of dollars from a drug dealer
and save himself from the Russian Mafia. Alonzo may have surprised
the audience with his scheming, but in the end a plot twist leaves
the money in the hands of Jake.
The Score
Back from retirement, Nick Wells plans
to steal a scepter and complete one final heist. He teams up with
another robber, Jack Teller to complete his plan. It turns out that
Jack and Nick do not make such a great team. Both the robbers become
selfish and want the scepter for themselves. In the end, Nick has
much more experience and is one step ahead of his partner in crime.
After The Sunset
Max Burdett and his wife Lola promised
to retire from the business forever and moved to a tropical island.
An FBI agent who had been trying to convict the couple for years
followed them to the island, but unknowingly became friends with the
retirees. When a cruise ship with a large diamond is scheduled to
visit the same island, the stone is taken by a well-planned heist. In
the end, the diamond ends up in the hands of the person who is least
expected after a few series of back-stabbing situations.
