10 Awesome Movies With No Sympathetic Characters

5. The Hateful Eight

The clue here is in the title: these characters are by design supposed to be unlikeable, though in that typical Tarantino fashion, some of them are rather charming for a time, if hard to outright sympathise with.

The titular eight includes murderers, thieves, liars, a rapist, a racist, a man who profits from executions and just all-round duplicitous folk. Nobody is quite who they seem to begin with, and by the end, they're all revealed to be the thoroughly despicable people implied by the title.

Outside of the eight, the only remotely OK-ish character seems to be O.B. (James Parks), though he's ultimately not remotely developed enough as a character to be truly worthy of sympathy.
