10 Most Badass Movie Hitmen

Anton Chigurh may not be the most inconspicuous of hitmen, but his sheer cold-blooded, emotionless demeanour is unequalled. Once he has a job to do, there’s no stopping him. Javier Bardem’s portrayal captured this remorseless demeanour perfectly. His expressionless face and questionable haircut only adds to his threatening mystique.

Chigurh is less a hitman, more an angel of death. He is utterly without mercy and should you find yourself as one of his targets, there's no escaping. However Anton’s profound belief in fate means that sometimes, thanks to his faith in the toss of a coin, you may only need to simply cross his path in order to meet with a sticky end.

Unlike many others on this list where a code of honour applies, Anton will take out anyone in his way if a coin toss dictates. It’s this complete lack of redemption, a lack of limits or of ethics, which makes him the ultimate badass hitman.
