I'll go with Predators, (2010).

Earlier in the movie, Noland, (Laurence Fishburne), mentioned that he had survived for several 'seasons', but he couldn't remember how many. At the end, Royce, (Adrian Brody), kills the last Super Predator just before dawn, then witnesses the next batch of game parachuting in, and realizes he's only lasted a day, so far.

I was going to say the exact same thing, just after reading the title of the thread. Definitely a creepy and well made movie with a great twist, one of the best horror movies.

Get Out was another great movie with a good twist.

The Korean Best Picture winner Parasite, along with the latest film I saw in the theater Longlegs. The ending of Longlegs didn't meet with universal approval but then not many people liked the ending of The French Connection.

The Silent Partner(1978). Elliot Gould is a bank teller and Christopher Plummer is a theif planning to rob the bank Gould works in. Gould gets a sense of this and tries to turn the tables. What ensues is a cat and mouse game between them. Plummer is outstanding in this role.

Can't remember the movie name but James Coburn was a thief who had his eye on the prize. He seduced a beautiful young girl who was a housekeeper, to get a slice of her boss's 50 grand or thereabouts and then ditched the girl with no goodbye.
He is on the plane to escape with his partner in crime and grinning like a Cheshire cat lecturing the other guy on how to know when to cut out with a profit and leave it all behind.
Meanwhile the girl who is totally in love with him just finds her boss died and left his fortune in millions to her. She is desperately trying to phone James Coburn who is long gone with his 50 grand.
