Line 104:

* An [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] of Arthur Bishop in ''[[The Mechanic]]'' says he is this, and that's why {{spoiler|he lets his [[The Mole|student McKenna]] kill him.}}

* Sheriff 'Monk' McGinn in ''[[Gangs of New York]]''. He starts out as an Irish [[Ronin]] [[Psycho for Hire|muscle for hire]] with dozens of notches on his [[Drop the Hammer|shillelagh]], and is viewed with contempt until we find out he's really this. Then he goes out with a [[Kirk Summation|rousing speech]] and puts the villain in his place, which unfortunately, Bill the Butcher [[Shut Up, Kirk|does not]] respond [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|well to]].

{{quote| '''Monk:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLKbcrC0krQ Citizens of the Five Points!] Mr. Bill Cutting is attempting to draw me into an argument that would no doubt end in bloodshed and the compromising of my office!

The people have spoken. The very notion of violent reprisal be-numbs them.}}

* Several characters in ''[[Sin City]]'', an otherwise [[Black and Grey Morality|Black and Grey]] [[Crapsack World]].

* The title character in ''[[Robo Cop]]'' has nothing to live for, and as the film series progresses, seems more aware that his creation was only a publicity stunt, but his sense of duty and spirit for justice keeps him going.
