Michael Madsen stood out amongst some bad guys in Reservoir Dogs.

Michael Douglas in Wall Street.

John Malkovich in Line of Fire and Con Air...

There's that thin line between bad, mentally scrambled and morally bereft, such as
the psycho in Dirty Harry or Robert Mitchum in Night of The Hunter.

There's Hannibal Lector, as ruthless a character as any, just in a more refined way.

Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast.

There's "bad" like Machete (Danny Trejo), who maybe was an OK guy at his core when he was, what? five?

Lots of ruthless bad ass guys on the big screen, could be a long list.

        A fairly muddled psychological thriller/portrait of the struggling artist as a young woman.
        Full of stereotypical situations and characters without even any decent dancing scenes going on.
        Who shoots ballet dancer's from the waist up or the waist down?
        Our torment trumped Portman's.
        
        Well paced is about the best I can say for it.
