But there's a lot of unpredictable, original films, so look them up. |
Those kind of movies are usually the European ones :D Where no Hollywood is visible but the the essence of real acting is required! |

I don't think there really are "good guys" in that movie.
My favourite movie of all time. Best car chase scenes in movie history, I think. Pure awesomeness. |
Damn I forgot about that one...The chases are TRULY the best I've seen:) |

I can't remember one movie where the good guy loses to a purely bad guy in some tragic way.
Hannibal series is probably the closest it gets to breaking this barrier, but Anthony Hopkins is too mesmerizing in that role to be the "bad guy"
Swordfish - Would have qualified if Travolta wasted wolverine at the end somehow. OOh Im just going to run away and gloat....what a disney ending
The Usual Suspects - His "badness" is only that he broke the law, everything else about kevin is charisma. by the end of the movie you see him as a kind of Robin Hood, not as some bloodthirsty mofo.
Fast and the Furious - Vin Diesel was the main character breaking the law, thats all that made him bad. He was also tough but fair, loves his sister and crew, and misses daddy. Guess what, half of the people in this world are vin diesel.
The only two movies that you people have managed to come up with are Braveheart and SAW.
it's sad to start watching [insert action movie title here] and knowing that the good guy will be beat to an inch of his life, and then will come back and triumph over overwhelming odds.
Same with the sports movies.
Van Helsing, Elektra, Hellboy, Blade movies...I bet you Keanu will live through Constantine, and so will Ethan Hawke in Assault on pr 13. |

Jeez thanks a lot you ass I havent seen those yet. :whip:
And Im going to revise my theory to say that barely any heros that people develop any attachment to die in the end, be they bad or good guys.
Some exceptions - Heat, Empire, that movie with Brad Pitt as an IRA guy, Donnie Brasco. |
