The Moment: For the sake of spoilers, we won't say what it is, but yes, it's not exactly a surprise that this much-hyped adaptation of Paula Hawkins' hit novel has a devilish plot twist, one that completely turns on its head everything up to that point.

Why It Will Define 2016: Remember how everyone and their mother couldn't stop gushing about the insane twists in Gone Girl? Well, you can pretty much expect a repeat of that water cooler phenomenon with this mystery thriller.

It takes a ton of ridiculous turns designed to shock the viewer, and if it delivers the novel's winding plot with sufficient sledgehammer force, it could leave audiences with plenty to discuss once the credits roll (again, much like Gone Girl).
