What movie puts the protagonist through the absolute ringer for it to all pay off in the end?

In my opinion, V for Vendetta. What Evie Hammond was put through was inexcusable, but I feel like it was worth it in the end.

Not sure if worth it, but it was definitely a cathartic movie.

That's the beauty of it I think. We're left with this ambiguous feeling about whether the end actually justified the means.

Maybe they did, but surely there was a better way, right? Or was there really not? We can't know.
