7 Movies About Friends Turned Enemies

While we’re all spending some time away from our friends in our respective quarantines, this is the perfect time to think about friendship and what we gain from it as people. Is it worth investing all that precious time and energy into people that might not give it back? Do we even trust our friends to have our interests at heart at all times?

If these are questions you find yourself asking on a regular basis, I present you a list of some of the greatest movies about friends turning enemies. Maybe you’ll find the answer here. As an added bonus, most of these movies have superheroes in them. Ain’t that grand?

Captain America: Civil War

It’s a superhero movie about superheroes not quite agreeing on what it means to be a superhero. Turns out that protecting the guy that killed your friends’ parents, isn’t a very nice thing to do. Yet ratting out your friend about killing your other friends’ parents isn’t a good thing to do either. Captain America had no chance of winning this one.

Unbreakable

One of the last good M. Night Shyamalan movies tells the story of Bruce Willis being harmless to all forms of injury. After an accident that leaves him as the only survivor, he runs into Nick Fury who helps him understand his abilities, only for Bruce Willis to realise at the end of the movie that Nick Fury was actually Mr. Glass, the person responsible for the accident Bruce Willis was in.

The Prestige

If you’re into Christopher Nolan movies, this one is worth a watch. The movie tells the story of two friends and magicians, Wolverine and Batman, trying to constantly outstage one another when it comes to performing the best magic trick. Sadly, Wolverine’s wife dies when a trick performed by Batman goes wrong, and the two never see eye to eye ever again.
