Antiheroes In Movies That We Can’t Help But Love

John Rambo – First Blood

If you follow John Rambo’s character arc throughout the entire Rambo franchise, it ends with him being an altruistic character and the clear hero of the story. However, if you analyze the first film First Blood, it’s nowhere nearly as obvious. Throughout the movie, he makes some highly questionable decisions as he proceeds to go on a rampage after a rough run-in with some local cops. Although he only kills one person in the film, you would hope not everyone reacts to being pushed around like that. With that being said, it’s impossible not to side with Rambo. He’s a returning Vietnam Veteran that is greeted home with harassment and violence by a group of cops for no apparent reason. Of course, he’s going to snap, and you can’t condemn him when he does.
