minus-squaresnooggums@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up56·9 months agoThe Usual Suspects is the first one that comes to mind that isn’t horror and the villain winning by getting away. Does that fit the ‘evil wins’ concept you are looking for?

minus-squarerockstarmode@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-28 months agoIt’s pretty clear to me given the cops shooting, then shouting orders, and Mr. Pink saying he’s been shot, that he does not in fact get away. I know there’s theories on the Internet about this, and he may not have died, but at the very least he’s been caught and does not keep the diamonds.
