# 8 - TOM CRUISE AS VINCENT
PROFESSIONAL HIT-MAN
COLLATERAL (2004)
Icy, hardened, relentless and infallible, Tom Cruise's "Vincent" remains one of my favorite villains. But don't pass him off as shallow or superficial- our professional hit-man is into Darwin, I Ching and all things philosophical. He speaks in jabbed adjectives. To him Los Angeles is "sprawled out," "disconnected." But above all else, from frame 1 of his presence we know he ain't putting up with any shit, ya dig?

#7 - CHRISTOPHER WALKEN AS MAX ZORIN
A VIEW TO A KILL (1985)
Christoper Walken has taken on some strange and interesting roles over the years but for shameless wicked-grin deception, nothing quite matches his ego-maniac Max Zorin performance. Convinced that his evil is always justified, it takes the entire Golden Gate bridge to finally bring him down. A great and under-appreciated villain to say the least!
