The Parker books by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake) are good if you're 
interested in seeing a totally morally bankrupt protagonist deal with even 
more morally bankrupt antagonists.  The movie Payback starring Mel Gibson 
>from a few years ago was an adaptation of the first in the series, and toned 
WAY down.  The Parker of the novels has absolutely no redeeming qualities, 
unless you count the ability to plan a great crime and get his money through 
sheer force-of-will.
