10 Movie Reveals That STOPPED You From Walking Out

8. Rogue Is Tom Lone - War

2007's War spends the bulk of its runtime failing to deliver on the promises of a hard-boiled action thriller in which Jason Statham and Jet Li square off against one another.

Statham plays FBI agent John Crawford, who seeks revenge against the mysterious assassin Rogue (Jet Li), who apparently killed Crawford's partner, Tom Lone (Terry Chen), along with his family.

But this dead-ordinary revenge thriller gets a totally bonkers boost of adrenaline in its final 10 minutes, when it's revealed that "Rogue" is actually Tom Lone himself.

Flashbacks reveal that the real Rogue did indeed attack Lone's house and kill his family, but Lone managed to overpower and kill Rogue, before surgically altering his appearance to steal Rogue's identity.

Oh, and the reason that the real Rogue was able to track down Lone in the first place? Crawford was blackmailed into providing his address, prompting Lone to shoot his former partner and escape, the ending leaving it ambiguous whether Crawford survived or not.

Boy, that escalated quickly huh?
