Jonah Hex

The DC Comics antihero Jonah Hex, former confederate soldier and bounty hunter with a hideously scarred face, was brought to life on the big screen in 2010. We open with the former Confederate cavalryman Hex (Josh Brolin) dragging in four dead outlaws for a bounty. The mayor decides to try to turn the tables to kill Hex for the price on his head, but Hex wins the shoot out, collects his money and rides out of town. Elsewhere, Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich) a former Confederate commander driven mad and bent on the destruction of the Union, hijacks a train with his men and kills everyone on board as he steals a classifed government weapon. The army tracks down Hex and tells him that Turnbull, his former commanding officer as well as the man that scarred Hex and murdered his family, is alive and well.

Hex starts investigating, but can get no information out of either the living or the dead, whom he can resurrect and question for short periods of time. Finally he digs up Jeb Turnbull, Hex's former best friend whom he was forced to kill. Hex apologies, and Jeb reveals his father's whereabouts along with warning Hex that hell is baying for his arrival.

Hex tries to infiltrate Turnbull's ship and kill him, but Turnbull has kidnapped Lilah (Megan Fox), a prostitute that Hex may have feelings for. He surrenders, and they're both locked up as the ship steams out. Lilah picks her locks and frees them, and Hex brutally kills Turnbull's lieutenant Burke, then resurrects him just to scatter his soul. A fight ensues between Hex and Turnbull, and while the weapon fires a volley into Washington, the trigger shell is trapped during the fight. Leaving Turnbull to be crushed in the machinery of the ironclad, Hex and Lilah jump ship just as it explodes, saving the country as well as the day in the process.
