100 GREATEST MOVIE CHARACTERS. Okay, so, obviously, there will be spoilers for some of these films. If you haven't seen the film that the character is from (and want to see it at some later time), read it at your own risk.
"Fuck you, ya fucking fuckers"
100. Mr Smith
Shoot 'em Up
In what is maybe the most over-the-top action film ever made, Mr. Smith (Clive Owen) protects a baby from a bunch of bad guys led by Karl Hertz (Paul Giamatti).
Along the way, he shoots some bad guys, shoots some more bad guys, shoots a man's middle finger off, shoots the lights of a sign to make it spell "FUK U," and shoots people while sexing up Monica Bellucci. All in all, he does a tremendous amount of shooting. I guess that's why the movie's called "Shoot 'em Up."
But beneath his shooty-ness lies a genuine heart. A man skilled in the art of gunfighting, but longs for something more: A family.
Defining moment: Smith's hands are broken and Hertz has him cornered next to a fireplace. "Tell me I'm dead wrong about you," Hertz says and Smith implores him to say it again. "Tell me I'm dead-" BANG! By having bullets heat up in his hand, Smith is able to shoot Hertz WITHOUT A GUN
