Ha sido un cambio de rumbo inesperado

Question

It was an unexpected change of course, this can be said when something works out different than what you expected? It was an unexpected twist.

Example, the end of the Sixth Sense, or anything you don't expect to happen? Gracias.

Answer 1

I use that expression for unexpected developments; for example if the President has been campaigning for months for a health care reform, and suddenly passes a law reaffirming the current health care system.

A plot twist is "un giro inesperado".
