Ender's Game
Whoa, good call. Fits the bill, but in a very unique way.

Both the book and the film are excellent.

Hateful 8 actually fits this in a way... but I hated it so there is that.

I just watched something that is exactly what the OP is asking for but I can't remember what it was called or anything about it for some reason.

Hateful 8 was interesting. It had turned me into my mom by the end, during the hanging I was just grimacing and thinking "mmm, this is a bit much."

It seems Tarantino feels the need to top himself every movie as far as violence and brutality goes these days. Which is cool in a way, always interesting to see what he does next, but the movies aren't really better for it.

Speaking of Tarantino, while not surprise antagonists, the Basterds were marauding thugs who had virtually no impact on the story/ending, which I didn't expect during the movie.

Not exactly that, but I'd say in the ballpark and damn good: Layer Cake.

Turns out this thread was just a guise to get us to give up spoilers and we've been the bad guys this whole time.
