One of the most purely enjoyable things in the art of cinema is seeing a very serious and classically trained actor play the biggest fucking psycho in the world.
Whether it's Ben Kingsley's Don Logan in Sexy Beast (I still seriously have nightmares about Don Logan showing up and calling me a cunt), or the sublime showcase of Ralph Fiennes' performance in In Bruges, it's always top value.
You could always count on Fiennes to bring the villainy, ever since his casual murder from the balcony in Schindler's List. But to really chew it up, and bombard the audience with the sheer force of all that personality, all that strength of will, twisted into pure malevolence, and enunciated so clearly. Sheer fucking bliss, you cunt.
