The struggle between good and evil is one of the themes of many movies. Most of the time, it is conveyed to the audience through the lives of the characters in stories set in a fantasy world. This time, it is reflected on the big screen through a real life and with the same character.

For the movie, I cannot say that good and evil are kept in balance, that one is superior to the other or that it is tied to any categorization. Because unlike its counterparts, the concept of good and evil is introduced into the equation through comparisons rather than competition.
Our character Eddie Franks (played by Craig Fairbrass) is a man who transitions from bad to good but can never get rid of the effects and traces of the past. The past haunts him and haunts him at every turn.
So far, I can say that this is a typical action movie story and beginning. My biggest surprise about the character is that he thinks that he has paid for all the past evils with a few years of imprisonment and tries to put himself into a quiet, calm life.
When you hurt someone, sooner or later someone else will hurt you. I think the analogy of revenge is a dish best eaten cold is one of the best words to explain this.

Thinking about the character of Eddie Franks, the movie requires one to ignore the efforts of someone who came out of prison with high hopes to turn his life around.
Once you are in trouble and the money you make from it is the basis of your earnings, you can never get out of that trouble again. Every subsequent gain is tainted with the dirt and dark spots of the first gain.
Craig Fairbrass gives a great acting performance throughout the movie at the transition points from bad to good and in the dramatic scene at the end of the movie. He can be criticized, if not for his acting, then for the lifestyle chosen by the character he portrays, but he deserves the highest praise for his efforts not to involve his family in the mess he got himself into.
I recommend Villain to anyone who loves the crime and action genre. As it has happened dozens of times before, you have the chance to watch once again the tryst of good with evil.
