24. Det. Bobby Monday in Premium Rush
We begin this list with the most recent film where Joseph Gordon-Levitt must deliver a mysterious envelope through the NYC rush hour while being pursued by corrupt cop Bobby Monday (Michael Shannon). Shannons Det. Monday is under pressure from Chinese loan sharks to get the envelope which will clear his debt. Monday isnt inherently evil hes a desperate man. Sure, he accidentally kills a Chinese gangster but he didnt mean it! Monday isnt some scheming genius hell-bent on making the protagonists lives misery - hes a man desperately trying to save his own skin and those cocky little cyclists who have no regard for the rules of the road make his life a living hell. Monday is just a victim of serious bad luck.
