Looking for movies in which bad guy is more glamourized than good guys. One in which you lived vicariously in his shoes.
Not looking for any silly super-hero movie btw.
Men have tendency to like to watch sports and watch action movies because they like to live variously as those athletes or those strong or dangerous studs in movies. That's exactly what I am looking for.
None that can think of off the top of my head. I don't usually side with the bad guy. But, there are some that I can definitely sympathize with. Off the top of my head I could think of Quaid (Shaun Evans) from Dread (2009). Dude was totally fucked up from a horrific childhood incident and then he stopped taking his psychiatric medications. So I definitely sympathize with him throughout the movie no matter how bad his deeds ended up getting. And Dr Otto Hasslein (Hans Gudegast/Eric Braeden) from Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971). He wasn't wrong in his beliefs. Yes his deeds were bad, but they were for the greater good of mankind. He thought that the future of mankind was more important than the life of a very special baby chimp.

It would be hard for anyone watching The Day of the Jackal (73) not to be rooting, to at least some degree, for Edward Fox's "The Jackal" character.
Gone Baby Gone (2007) - I'm sorry but fuck that kid's parents. The were absolutely terrible.
That child deserved better.
