10 Movie Villains Who Died Happy

Shortly after Elijah Wood wrapped up work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he pulled a total acting about-turn by appearing in Sin City as the mute cannibal assassin Kevin.

It's a sublimely creepy performance, but Kevin's ticket is finally punched when he faces off against Marv (Mickey Rourke), who manages to get the better of him and subject him to a horrendous death absolutely befitting his own murderous ways.

Marv incapacitates Kevin and then systematically cuts off his limbs, which he subsequently feeds to Kevin's pet wolf.

However, Marv frustratedly remarks that Kevin doesn't make a sound throughout the entire nasty ordeal, and worst of all he maintains the same calm smile on his face the whole time - even when he finishes the job by decapitating him.

Sure, you could argue that Kevin was simply blissfully unaware of what pain feels like, but he sure as hell seemed to be residing in his happy place while Marv took to his neck with a saw.
