10 Movies Where The Good Guy & Bad Guy BOTH Lose
7. Glass
M. Night Shyamalan's Glass was the hotly anticipated conclusion to the filmmaker's Eastrail 177 Trilogy, preceded by Unbreakable and Split.
And boy, Shyamalan sure didn't want to just give the audience what they wanted here, instead offering up a subversive and intensely divisive finale nobody could've seen coming. What a twist!
The three-way dance between villains The Horde (James McAvoy) and Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) and hero The Overseer (Bruce Willis) culminates in all three ending up dead.
The Horde attacks and mortally wounds Mr. Glass before being shot dead by a SWAT team, and The Overseer gets drowned by another SWAT officer in a pothole.
The three main characters on both sides of the equation all lose, then, but the real villains of the piece are the secret society attempting to suppress the existence of superhumans, led by Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson).
While Staple succeeds in killing the three supers, even she can't claim a victory given that the final scene sees her organisation being exposed to the masses by The Horde's friend Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy), Mr. Glass' mother (Charlayne Woodard), and The Overseer's son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark).
And though this trio manages to bring the supers' murders to light, they're still bereaved, so it's tough to really call their endings a win either. Everyone loses here, just in varying flavours of suck.
