History AntiHero / LiveActionFilms

* AntiHero/MarvelCinematicUniverse

* ''Film/Constantine2005'': Constantine is rude, unhelpful to most people, asks his friends to put themselves in dangerous situations (and gets three of them killed because of this) and only performs exorcisms and sends half breed demons back to Hell because he wants to buy his way into Heaven.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'':
** ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': Batman's unscrupulous methods in make him something of an anti-hero. His intentions are heroic but he is willing to break the law in order to achieve them.
** Catwoman in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' is an unscrupulous hero who is not only willing to break the law but also stain her hands with the blood of bad guys.

* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** Wolverine. He'll do good things, but clearly doesn't care much about it.
** Mystique and Magneto are {{Nominal Hero}}es in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** Erik is an UnscrupulousHero [[spoiler:before JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope and becoming a full-fledged VillainProtagonist.]]
*** Mystique is a ClassicalAntiHero. She becomes a NominalHero in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* The enigmatic ronin with no name from ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}'' is ruthless, mercenary and opportunistic, even though he only punishes the wicked.

* Judge Hardin, and possibly the rest of the judges in ''Film/TheStarChamber''.

* Hello, ''Film/InglouriousBasterds''. You want to run around WWII-era France and use guerrilla warfare to kill [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]] because they're AcceptablePoliticalTargets, even though you all have the same kind morals as they do? Okay, but make sure your most badass member uses a [[BatterUp baseball bat]].

** Han Solo is an Anti-Hero, most vividly seen by comparing him to Luke Skywalker, the obvious hero (which also makes him TheLancer). At the end of the first movie, he has a {{Big Damn Hero|es}} moment. From there, he moves more toward the standard hero as time goes on. In contrast, Boba Fett, who was depicted as a villain in the movies, is portrayed more as an Anti-Hero in the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]]. While he's still the badass bounty hunter who won't hesitate to disintegrate you if somebody is willing to pay him for it, Fett does have a very ''loosely'' defined code of honor and apparently has a soft spot for orphans and the oppressed, and will often go out of his way to help them. Examples include him giving money to charity and saving an alien species from extinction for a hundred credits (it's even implied that he ''gave their money back''). He's also unwilling to kill Republic clone troopers, since like him, they're all clones of his [[TrulySingleParent "father"]] Jango Fett.

* Film/JamesBond is perhaps the definitive example of an anti-hero in film. Despite films always ending with him saving the world from some sort of evil force, he resorts to some insanely unethical measures to achieve this goal: He'll rush into a warehouse with guns a'blazing while its inhabitants are just going about their business, manipulate people into doing some of his dirty work for him, bribe people with money, etc. To top it off, none of this out of any kind of compassion or sense of morality so much as it's out of obligation to his duties as an [=MI6=] agent. Daniel Craig's version of Bond, in particular, is about as far from heroic as you can possibly get without becoming a full fledged villain. Pierce Brosnan's Bond, while smoother and more charming than Craig's, is also quite comfortable in the antihero role.

** ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': Batman's unscrupulous methods in make him something of an anti-hero. [[ChaoticGood His intentions are heroic but he is willing to break the law in order to achieve them]].

* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': Katniss Everdeen is [[PragmaticHero the pragmatic kind.]] And also an example of the [[NeutralGood good]] kind.

* The protagonist of the ''[[Film/JoshuuSasori Female Prisoner Scorpion]]'' films is an ordinary woman imprisoned for trying to kill her corrupt detective boyfriend, who arranged her rape by Yakuza purely so he could catch the rapists in the act and move in on their business. She's perfectly harmless unless you wrong her; the problem is, she's so determined to escape that the warden and all the guards hate her, and the mass punishment everyone gets when she tries to break out means most of the prisoners hate her too, so she's constantly the target of someone's vendetta. And she holds a strong grudge. Being a convict, she uses any means she can to survive and do what she has to do: she'll bludgeon dogs to death, she'll hack arms off arresting cops, she'll contrive to make others stab guards when aiming for her. This also means she has no mercy whatsoever.
