Are there movies where the hero is clearly much worse than the villain?

​

I was wondering whether there's ever been a movie that leaves the audience with a very morally bankrupt protagonist who is clearly worse than the person that they were in opposition to or in conflict with. Keep in mind that I'm not referring to movies with anti-heroes, or where the hyper-stylized nature of the main character's violence and malice is supposed to be what keeps the audience intrigued. I'm talking about movies that establish (or at least feel like they established) who the "good guy" and the "bad guy" is at the beginning of the film, but proceeds to explore and deconstruct their individual moralities, value systems and incentives until the audience no longer feels like the good guy's the good guy or the bad guy's the bad guy anymore.
