''Villain'' is a 1971 gangster film directed by Michael Tuchner and starring Richard Burton, Ian McShane, T. P. McKenna and Donald Sinden. ==Plot== Ruthless East End gangster Vic Dakin has plans for an ambitious raid on the wages van of a plastics factory. This is a departure from Dakin's usual modus operandi and the job is further complicated by his having to work with fellow gangster Frank Fletcher's firm. Essentially a standard story about a heist, there are intricate sub-plots depicting: * Dakin's sadistic nature * Dakin's relationship with Wolfie * Wolfie's bisexual relationship with Venetia and Dakin * Dakin's irritation at having to work with Frank Fletcher's seemingly weak brother-in-law: Ed Lowis * MP Gerald Draycott being blackmailed by Dakin (via Wolfie) to provide a cast-iron alibi * Detectives Bob Matthews and Tom Binney pursuing Dakin and Lissner. In a growing trend for movies of the same era and genre (''Get Carter'', '' A Clockwork Orange'', '' The French Connection'' for example) some of the violence is quite graphic especially during the heist and foreshadows several 1970s cop TV shows such as ''The Sweeney'', ''Target'' and ''Special Branch''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Villain (1971 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
