Johnny Depp plays a literally crazy as possible in this film based on Stephen King novel. He was harassed by one of John Shooter, played by John Turturro, and accused of plagiarism. As some people and wind of a dog was stabbed with a screwdriver, it seems that he is very unfortunate victim, until we learn that he was a victim of his own character.
Shooter John is none other than the alternative that more personality than anything motivated by the need to end one of his stories seem to change. That and some corn on the cob.
7. Malcolm Rivers (ID)
Characters suffer from is evaluated to see if he committed the murder by one of his multiple personalities. Each person occupies a room in a motel in the head, and one of them is a murderer, kill the rest of the personality at a time. We watch the film is really just a metaphor for what happened to Malcolm, when he tried to consolidate his multiple personalities in one. If that single personality is that of a child, everything was fine until we know, until the end of Hitchcock, that child killer over the years.
8. Teddy Daniels (Shutter Island)
A familiar metaphor for a psychological thriller, Martin Scorcese takes the genre to the federal police on the island hospital-turned-mental to the murder to solve. What he learned along the way is that more things than he realized in the first place, because the case is one of the repressed memories.
He was actually a patient, a relapse into the lifestyle of the former prior to an event that caused his psychotic break, a child drowned by his crazy wife (whom he shot the terrible discovery). This, of course, is only revealed at the end, if we got a good sense to be skeptical.

9. Bruce Banner (Hulk)
First Hulk comic, but has adapted to all visual media a few, and given the film treatment of the two in the last decade alone (the latest version of the filling of badassery Ang Lee are minimized delicious). The original character is part of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll / Mr Hyde, at least according to the co-creator Stan Lee, and the themes are all the same, a scientist who transforms into a monster, without obstacles and guide.
But outside of the fantastic, and the more clinical, scientist Bruce Banner is what is the case of multiple personality disorder, in which he is someone (or something, instead of) other, which acts as a channel for all the feelings that oppressed it. And while some things in a state of inhuman evil, Hulk is the kind of heroic. That is if he is not in vain for the city to waste any.
10. Bailey Gates Charlie / Hank Evans (Me, Myself, and Irene)
On a lighter note, Jim Carrey's character Charlie Bailey Gates morphs into Hank Evans alter ego as a defense mechanism. Very sturdy, and not once, his confrontational alternative to an outlet for what Charlie is too weak to express himself.[source]
