23 Years Later, James Mangold's Psychological Thriller Still Delivers One of the Unforgettable Twists in Movie History

There's nothing like a good, unexpected movie twist. You've got the iconic all-timers like Charlton Heston seeing the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes, or Luke learning Darth Vader's true identity in Empire Strikes Back, that will always be at the forefront of conversations. But those surprise endings are far from the only twists deserving of that level of attention. Back in 2003, director James Mangold and writer Michael Cooney teamed up for a propulsive little thriller that packed an enormous twist — one that still blows the minds of new viewers more than two decades later.
