I can think of a lot of films that pretty much do the opposite of the shower thought. One example is The Interview, where for comedic tension James Franco's plan to shoot the helicopter down is pretty much what happens.

Pretty sure a lot of successful heist and action films also work as counter examples

I can't think of any, but I'm curious to see one now. Just some extremely skilled people pulling off the heist exactly as planned with no big twist surprises. There's something satisfying about watching people in their element being super competent at what they do.

Okay so it's never exactly as planned to the T. So maybe I was a bit hyperbolic. But I can think of a few where I seem to remember that there was no huge twist or anything.
