Do you have examples of movies that have a huge spike in stakes almost at the end?

Examples: Se7en, Rogue One

Please use spoilers if you want to explain why

    Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It felt like mostly nothing happened for 2 hours. There was some decent dialogue and a lot of references to 1950s and 60s Hollywood. There is some build up, but not much payoff until the last 20 minutes. Then everything goes off and you are reminded that this is a Tarantino film.

      That was exactly my wife and I’s assessment of that film. We thought it was a slightly entertaining but mostly boring film… then the last 15 or so minutes we laughed our asses off. Once Brad Pitt’s character makes the clicking sound we were “ohhh shiiit”
