Scenes where a character is playing a dangerous charade?

Tools    





Sorry Harmonica.......I got to stay here.
I love watching actors in a scene where they must pretend somehow in extremely dangerous and stressful situations. For example, Ed Exley fighting to not betray emotion when Dudley Smith mentions Rollo Tomassi in L.A. Confidential, or the Farmhouse/Bar scenes from Inglorious Basterds (below). Aside from Tarantino, anyone know of movies with really good tense scenes like this?

Casino Royale has quite a few scenes like this with the poker game and the torture scene.
Not a movie but a trashy TV series; Sins has a tense moment where a brother has to watch his sister gets tortured but cannot reveal that they are brother and sister.

Its Agent Carter Isn't it? I Never get to watch all the episodes of the series. I like the first two episodes.

Not seen that. Sins is partly set in Nazi-Occupied France.
