Starring Craig Fairbrass , he plays Eddie – a man just released from jail after serving a ten-year sentence.
Determined to leave the crime life behind, reconnect with his daughter and return to managing his family’s London pub, he finds that his now drug addict brother Sean has not been taking care of the bar – letting it become seedy and decrepit. It soon becomes clear that Sean has also accrued a large debt to some very nasty gangsters who want to take control of the pub as payment.And we would argue Villain is also worth a look, thanks to Fairbrass’ commanding lead turn, the film’s sense of authenticity and its story which grows only more and more dark as it reaches its conclusion.: “Sometimes a seemingly unprepossessing genre film comes along that has finer qualities than you would expect. Such is the case here.
Villain is streaming on Netflix in Ireland and the UK right now. It is also available to watch on Pluto TV in the US.
