I really do everyone has their breaking
point but most of us don’t go this far
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
good guys gone bad in films only don’t
tell me because it is my intelligence
for this list we’re taking a look at
those feature film characters who start
out as pretty decent folks but through
some twist of fate end up being not that
nice in this case it’s not nice guys
finishing last it’s more like nice guys
becoming homicidal and while this might
seem obvious there are spoilers ahead so
spoiler alert must join with him we must
join with number 10 Harry Osborn
spider-man I didn’t use him was stolen
from me one day spider-man will pay if
anyone is proof that money can’t buy
happiness into this guy you’re busy
you’re an important man I I understand
that’s no excuse although he may have
had some daddy issues
Harry was pretty likable for a rich kid
and became fast friends with Peter
Parker he the moon or what or his father
of fire your father all it took to push
him over the edge was witnessing his
father’s death during a fight with
spider-man have you done what have you
done well that is pretty brutal
but brutal enough to Donna green goblin
costume
number nine Nina Sayers Black Swan
it could be brilliant but you’re a
coward now stop saying that that’s
exactly what I’m talking about stop
being so fucking weak again the world of
ballet has a dark side and we’re not
just talking about broken toes and split
nails the unyielding pressure put on
these dancers can trigger some pretty
disturbing behavior fortunately for this
initially sweet innocent dancer that
behavior comes in the form of
hallucinations finally culminating in
attempted murder
well more like attempted murder that
turns out to be an attempted suicide
what but at least she danced her butt
off
number eight Sheriff warden Woodward w
lope men there was a crooked man I’m
sworn to uphold the law you son of a
bitch right that’s what I am but so are
you warden warden Lok Minh had his work
cut out for him rehabilitating a
criminal like Parris Pittman Junior why
do you work at it so hard
brutally yourself you’re a son of a
bitch because I am it’s my profession
and I’m at the top the top of a prison
yard not for long and so when Pittman
escapes prison lope Minh takes it upon
himself to track him down that’s where
he’ll be and that’s where I’ll be
however when he finds Pitman’s dead body
on top of a pile of cash the temptation
proves too great he ditches his
do-gooder ways for a life on the lam but
not before sending Pitman’s dead body
riding through town on a donkey number
seven carry white carry this poor girl
couldn’t catch a break she was a quiet
recluse who was the target of a lot of
bullying for no discernible reason and
her crackpot hyper-religious mom wasn’t
making things easy on the homefront
either after having pig’s blood dumped
on her as part of a cruel joke
Cary’s had enough
unfortunately for pretty much everyone
attending prom enough for this
telekinetic teenager means everyone must
die
number six Erik Lehnsherr magneto x-men
first class there are thousands of men
on their ships good honest innocent men
that just following orders I’ve been at
the mercy of men just following orders
well okay after watching his mother die
at the hands of Nazis this young mutant
dedicates his life to avenging her death
along the way he takes up with Professor
X and the benevolent bunch of mutants
who just want world peace and happiness
but by the end of the film it becomes
clear that he could care less about
peace what he wants is liberation for
mutants by any means necessary
humans have played their hand now we get
ready to play ours who’s with me and he
recruits other mutants like mystique to
see his plans come to life number 5 Jean
Grey x-men The Last Stand
keep feeling something terrible’s about
she started out as a good girl really
she was one of the best using her powers
to thwart Magneto’s dastardly plans or
to help her mutant campaig tree ‘it’s
she was a top-notch lady and a leader
among the x-men that is until she died
and came back as the Phoenix and her
comeback was deadly with enough power to
destroy the world she went on a rampage
that probably would have ended earth had
she not been stuff
number four Jack Torrance The Shining
there’s Johnny
sometimes a writer just needs some peace
and quiet to get his work done whenever
you come in here and interrupt me you’re
breaking my concentration you’re
distracting me taking time I understand
sometimes that means going to the
library
yes other times that means going to a
haunted hotel during the winter and
slowly descending into madness never do
anything to hurt you ever
Jax eventually convinced by ghosts to
correct his family very homeboy which
seems pretty shady if you ask us
never trust ghosts that are looking for
company darling light of my life I said

your brains
number three Michael Corleone The
Godfather

him a mile away you got to get him close
like this but a bang you blow that
brains all over you nice side lake soon
what distinguished young Mike from the
rest of his relatives is that he wanted
nothing to do with the family business
Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my
father was shoot him that either his
brains or a signature would be on the
contract that’s my family came at me he
was a good kid and even became a Marine

only because I was so enough
no no it’s because I’m so in love with

in his mind but the death of his beloved
CAD mate is what finally sent him over
the edge into Darth Vader territory is
