And finally, without spoiling anything, Killers of the Flower Moon arrives at one hell of a spectacular ending.

In fact, it just might be one of the very best in the director's storied career, which coming off the unforgettable finale to The Irishman is really saying something.

While most filmmakers would likely end such a massive story with a series of title cards wrapping everything up, Scorsese opts for a more playful and unexpected denouement that's sure to catch audiences off-guard in the best way possible.

And yet while audiences may smile at the surprising final sequence, its unconventional execution does nothing to undermine its devastating final exclamation point, with Scorsese pointedly begging the audience to consider why this story has remained so little-known for so long.
