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

Training Day, a movie about a rookie cop who gets paired with a corrupt senior on his first day who manipulates him from the beginning. ''I should have been a fireman"

Gattaca. I am not sure if you can call it an absolute ringer, but it does feel all the hard work pays off in the end.

Agreed on Training Day.

I totally forgot about Gattaca, I watched that in school in like 6th grade. Fantastic movie

''You know what i learned today? I’m not like you."

You can have an Ethan Hawke catharsis marathon.
