10 Recent Movie Twists EVERYONE Hated
9. Carver Isn't Really Sick - Fountain of Youth
Guy Ritchie's Fountain of Youth sees siblings Luke (John Krasinski) and Charlotte Purdue (Natalie Portman) hired to seek out the mythical Fountain of Youth by Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson), a wealthy man who is apparently suffering from terminal cancer, and who wishes to use the fountain to cure himself.
Except, there's something profoundly sus about Carver from the moment he first enters the movie, enough that you'll most likely assume he's lying about being sick and simply wants the Fountain of Youth's power to exploit for himself.
It's so obvious that it feels like we're being set up for a rug-pull where Carver really is just a sick rich guy who desperately wants to live, but no, it plays out exactly as you'd expect.
In the third act we indeed find out that Carver isn't sick but just the most predictable of things - a greedy, rich a**hole.
Who didn't see this coming the moment he entered the movie, and roll their eyes when it played out 90 minutes later?
