20 Recent Movie Plot Twists NOBODY Saw Coming

It was quite understandably assumed that Zoë Kravitz would have a major role in Darren Aronofsky's new crime thriller Caught Stealing, given that she was featured prominently in the film's trailers and was effectively promoted as the female lead.

And while Kravitz appears throughout the first act as Yvonne, the love interest of protagonist Hank (Austin Butler), things take a sudden, dark turn soon thereafter.

Once Hank finds himself on the wrong side of the vicious Drucker brothers (Vincent D'Onofrio and Liev Schreiber), he realises that Yvonne is also in danger, but upon racing back to her apartment to check on her, he finds that she's been fatally shot in the head.

As major character deaths go, it's completely unceremonious and unsentimental - Yvonne doesn't get any dying words while bleeding out, she's just gone before Hank even gets there.

It's a brilliantly effective turn and one that solidifies the life-or-death stakes for Hank, who at least manages to get brutal revenge on the Druckers by killing the duo at film's end.
