Information About

Villain (film)




It tells the story of ruthless East End gangster Vic Dakin and his plans for an ambitious raid on the wages van of a plastic factory. This is a departure from Dakin's usual modus operandis and the job is further complicated by his having to work with fellow gangster Frank Fletcher's firm. As Dakin plots, Wolfe wheels and deals and MP Draycott gets caught in a web of his own iniquity, they are doggedly pursued by Inspector Bob Matthews ( Nigel Davenport ) who's just waiting for Dakin to slip up.
