Villain

Extremely unpleasant, gritty and great British gangster film. Vic is one of the nastiest film characters ever

It's a pretty typical British crime flick of the period ... very violent and fairly laid back with a really bravura and tense heist-gone-wrong sequence in the middle. Burton is kind of fundamentally miscast as a Cockney gangster. He does a voice and accent, but he retains his fairly regal aura. He's far from bad. He's very menacing and has a real dangerous edge to him, but he just is obviously not London working class.

O Vilão estreava há 50 anos no Reino Unido. Mais um dos incontáveis filmes inspirados nos irmãos Kray, seria o primeiro a abordar abertamente a sexualidade de Ronald Kray, uma cena de sexo entre Burton e McShane chegou a ser filmada, mas não foi para o corte final, mesmo assim o relacionamento sadomasoquista deles é bastante explícito no discurso.

Not my thing but a fun time for what it is

Pretty good.
