10 Movie Reveals So Bad You Almost Walked Out

3. High T Is The Mole - Men In Black: International

Now You See Me
Sony Pictures Releasing

From the moment the first trailer dropped for Men in Black: International and mentioned that the plot centered around a mole within MIB, fans immediately pointed their fingers at High T (Liam Neeson), the legendary head of MIB's London branch.

It seemed so obvious that some even pegged it as a cheeky misdirect, but lo and behold, deep into the third act we indeed find out that High T is the mole, his body having effectively been hijacked by the parasitic aliens known as the Hive, in turn allowing them to infiltrate MIB.

The wise mentor being the secret, compromised Bad Guy is a trope as old as time itself at this point, and that the fourth Men in Black movie tried to pull it off without any subversion whatsoever is all you need to know about why it under-performed at the box office.
