19 Movies Where the Protagonist Isn't the Hero (Movie Nights & Sleepovers)

"Through legitimate or illegitimate means, the main character doesn't always end the film as a good person. Sometimes it comes through a shocking twist, sometimes we've known all along that this main character is not somebody we actually like. It's usually these types of films that make you really wonder about human nature. How good or evil are people, deep down? What is humanity like, at it's core? But we're not going to answer those questions in this post: we're just going to recommend all the movies we know of that'll make you ask them. Whether through deception or a mistake, it does not change the result: several of the most thrilling and astonishing events reveal that the protagonist is mistaken or definitely a villain. Here are some of the best films that demonstrate that!" - movienightsandsleepovers.com
