VILLAIN is yet another London-set gangster thriller for ageing hardman Craig Fairbrass, doing his best in a B-movie production that's less than stellar thanks to tired scripting and a general lack of effort all round. Fairbrass once again plays a former criminal trying to go straight but who finds himself tied down both by links to the past and some unsavoury characters in his family's present. The character work is weak but the emphasis is on violent incident, as per usual; sadly, it's nothing we haven't seen done before many times, and many times better.
