‘Fuze’ Ending Explained And Spoilers: A Sam Worthington Surprise?

Directed by Hell or High Water filmmaker David Mackenzie,Fuze is an action-thriller with a healthy share of twists. On this week’s CinemAddicts, we review the movie and also dive into spoilers for the all-star cast feature. Co-host Eric Holmes and I had different takes on what surprised us the most about the movie. Check out our Fuze ending explained and spoilers review below!

Fuze hit theaters on April 24, and if you have not seen the movie, it’s worth checking out expecially if you are a fan of actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Sam Worthington, Theo James, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Each of them do solid work in the picture, although a couple of them do not get the lion’s share of screen time due to its twisty narrative. Spoilers are in the next paragraph – you have been warned!

Sam Worthington’s “X” Was Barely In The Film!

He may be an A-list actor, but Avatar’s Sam Worthington, who also starred in David Mackenzie’s Relay, was a supporting player in the feature. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James play Will and Karalis, two highly different men whose lives changed during a mine filled firefight. Will promised to return the favor to Karalis after the diamond thief disabled a mine that was right under Will’s foot (Karalis cut the wires).

Co-host Eric Holmes was shocked to see Sam Worthington, who the heist leader X, die at the hands of Will. Holmes thought Worthington would have a much bigger role in Fuze, but ultimately that is one of the picture’s intended twists. He may be at the center of the Avatar universe, but in Fuze Worthington is just a piece of this intricate puzzle.

Why Did Theo James Lie About The Diamonds?

Why did Karalis continue to lie about the diamonds when he already had one hand smashed in by a henchman? He was placed at the trunk of a car and was presumably going to be killed. That is until X (Worthington) and his the surviving members of his crew chase down the henchman, cause a car crash, and take them out.

Karalis was skating a fine line by double crossing his heist partners, lying to his hired henchmen, and remaining confident that Will would return the “I saved your life” favor. Eric and I discuss that fake diamonds hand smashing scene ad nauseum in our spoilers video:
