Den of Thieves is a film chock full of WTF moments - the 140-minute runtime, the padded subplots, Gerard Butler's hilariously over-the-top performance - but it's all leading up to that Usual Suspects-esque final reveal, that the nervy, low-level member of the heist team, Donnie (O'Shea Jackson Jr.), was actually a criminal mastermind all along.

The closing montage sees corrupt LA sheriff "Big Nick" O'Brien (Butler) realising that Donnie was in control of the heist all along and had orchestrated everything.

We then cut to London, where Donnie has made his successful escape and now works as a bartender, sporting a large beard, speaking with an hilariously unconvincing English accent and planning his next heist at the nearby diamond exchange.

It's a guilty pleasure of a movie that ends in appropriately ridiculous fashion. What more could you ask for, honestly?
