Villain

There are so many British crime films and many of them are quite poor, bad acting, violence for the sake of violence with little plot or character investment

Villain is a bit of surprise, the acting from everyone here is really strong, in fact this film may have discovered a couple of stars. Craig Fairbass' character is not just a straight forward "villain", he carries some real leverage with him, you get invested, he wants to make amends for his mistakes, he wants to be there for his family and is dragged back into violence against his better judgment.

Yes there is some silly and unrealistic violence but all in all this was a really pleasant surprise, I tend to watch tv series as you have more time to invest in plot & characters, I would've been happy to watch a series on these characters.

Also the actress that plays chloe could be a star.

I like gangster films. I thought this was an ok gangster film. If you have seen Carlitos Way then you have pretty much seen this film, albeit in a more glossy American setting.

I just went ahead and walked right into this one without even checking the reviews first or anything because it sounded like a good plot. I wasn't disappointed. It can be a little predictable at times, but it will toss a few curve balls that you probably aren't gonna expect. Its pretty solid. I think its definitely worth a watch if you enjoy this type of movie.

I don't write many reviews, but I watch a lot of films. This is a solid film, from start to finish. Have crime tragedies been done before? Of course, but this one is good. Fairbrass is moving as the strong, regretful criminal getting long in the tooth. I won't give it all away, but it's worthy of your time, for get the low rating.

I don't know why the average score is low. I thought this was a great film. Shame about the ending as could've been follow up films, but nevertheless great story and Craig Fairbrass is mustard in it. Not original in terms of storyline, but I really enjoyed it.
