Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 - technically the "bad guys" are the protagonists, and they always win

What about the Jackal? I forget how that ended... does he end up dying?

It all really depends on what you're narrowing your criteria based on. Are you referring specifically to action movies? Any movie where the movie doesn't end favorably for the 'protagonist'?

If the latter, there are a ton of movies that end thusly, ranging from indie, to romance, suspense, action, etc. Some terrible, some good.

Pigs
Becoming Jane
Gone Baby Gone
Old Boy

Oh man, The Mechanic is such a badass movie. I loved the part where he shows junior why he carries the ball of wax. His house was pretty sick too.
