Now that is true! One movie that did that well was [i]Law Abiding Citizen[/i]. It's one of my favorite movies, and initially they were going to have Jamie Foxx as the bad guy, and Gerard Butler as the hero. But Jamie Foxx thought it would be cool to have Gerard Butler, known as the guy from [i]300[/i] (this was a 2009 movie) to be the hammy villain, and they did it.

Butler is still the protagonist, though. He exerts vengeance upon a broken justice system, which Foxx's character supports.
