Although action movies often have morally black and white characters, these eight action films have heroes who are secretly the villain.
The action movie genre typically focuses more on action than an in-depth story, with morals often being pretty black and white, but these eight action movies feature a hero who is actually a villain. While there are loads of morally questionable protagonists that have filled the silver screen throughout cinematic history, it is rare for a movie to have a morally reprehensible person as its protagonist.
Kill Bill Kill Bill's The Bride is purportedly the hero of the film, but that's really only because she's the least evil out of the group of evil killers known as the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. The Bride's quest for revenge is warranted, as she was horribly abused by Bill, but that doesn't clean the slate of all the terrible actions she has done.
Blade Runner Continuing a theme on this list, Blade Runner follows an LAPD police officer named Rick Deckard who is tasked with taking down several replicants, which are humanoid androids that are used as slaves in the distant future. While Deckard is committed to his mission, Blade Runner is all about the blurry line between human and machine, with Deckard learning the error of his ways throughout the film.
