Is doing wrong things for good, right?

One anti-hero that I've been watching since I was a kid is known as Dominic Torreto, one of the main characters in the popular film Fast and Furious. The 6 movies that have been made about this one man along with others is all about cars, money, family, racing and did I mention the best part? Cars. Every move he makes when it comes to getting out of a sticky situation to accomplishing something he needs or wants tends to be in an illegal way.

The first movie created was revolved around a young agent, Brian O'Conner, who goes undercover as a street racer to bust the big case of "who's been stealing all the cargo from 18-wheelers." In the movie he meets Dominic Torreto and befriends him to later find out (spoiler alert) that he is the one who has a team who hijacks 18-wheelers for the cargo. Later it comes to surface that Torreto uses the money for the good of his crew or "family" who has close to nothing. 

Ichabod and Torreto have things in common when it comes to getting what they want in anyway possible. Their greed for wealth is similar in how Ichabod wants the money for himself although Torreto wants the money for himself and his "family." Both are also similar in being very sneaky and convincing to get out of sticky situations. 

Although Ichabod Crane is a self-centered greedy man, Torreto is the same as him when it comes to greed and being very convincing in sticky situations along with thinking on their toes when it comes to quick problems. Torreto comes to be one of those anti-heroes who do things for the better of people and we are quick to love him. I remember growing up wanting to be a cool bad guy like Dominic Torreto.
