My favorite type of movie.
I could watch John Wick, Nobody, and The Equalizer every day of the week!

OT: movies with an underestimated hero

- Start date
Rocky IV: no one thought that undersized Italian was going to beat Drago…not only did he win the fight, he won the Cold War (all while training to the quintessential music montage of the 80s)
I liked The Drop, with Thomas Hardy.

Any movie where the United States kicks ET's ass works for me. Love watching cocky aliens get their shit pushed by the the USA, who always look outmatched for the first 3/4's of the show... then find a way!!
Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees killed a lot of really annoying people and are welcome on my lawn.
If you are going down the Denzel road Man on Fire is tits.

Name one bad Denzel movie. The man is a walking talking ass kicker.

Love Denzel. Hated Flight, The Pelham Movie. He's damn good, those movies just sucked.

@PeliniTheCrutch check out these:
The Accountant
The Gentlemen
Wrath of Man
Hummingbird
Brawl in Cell Block 99 (fair warning, way be the most violent movie of all time)
Out of the Furnace
My underestimated hero has to be Jon Moxon, who everyone thought was just a screwball 35 year old high school student, but ended up putting the team on his shoulders, indulging in a whipped cream sundae (with cherries on top), taking the team to visit Miss Davis, inciting a mutiny against coach Kilmer, and then winning the championship.
Cousin Eddy, the underestimated and real hero of the movie.
I'm not sure many of those listed are underestimated though.
How about Melvin, the 98 pound health club janitor that no one could ever guess would become a hero?

One of my favorite movies.
Hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone but the scene where DW shoves the explosives up the guys butt is hysterical...unless you're the guy with the nuclear suppository up your rectum...ouch!
Only bad part about Training Day was the director trying to make us believe Ethan Hawke wouldn't get the shit kicked out of him by Denzel
The first superhero...from New Jersey!I'm not sure many of those listed are underestimated though.

The movie is “Nobody” and it’s fantastic.
I haven’t seen that one, Will definitely have to check it out. 👍
