12 Despicable Movie Villains Who Stole Every Scene

7. Don Logan - Sexy Beast

Jack Nicholson The Departed

Witty, comedic, deadpan, intelligent.... terrifying.

Don Logan is the ultimate "despicable" crazy person. From his opening moments it's clear that something is off with this man, and the level of fright emanating from our lead protagonist - played by the tremendous Ray Winstone of course - it's immediately apparent how dangerous he is.

The sheer brutality and cruelty that Kingsley's "Logan" is willing to inflict upon others, without even a flicker or a flinch, is genuinely sickening, and the intensity that Kingsley is able to bring to the role ensures a constant feeling of unease for audiences.

It's the character's "old school" British sarcasm that draws you in, you can't help but be entertained by his witty antics and clever one-liners or his rapid-fire comebacks. He's sincerely funny, an alluring quality which leaves you having moments of anxiety each time you have to remind yourself how dangerous he is, which happens all too frequently once you've slipped and forgotten what he's really capable of.
