The 10 Best Movie Villains Of The Year (So Far)

9) Walt Camby – Money Monster

It’s too easy these days to make villains out of bankers. Ever since the 2008 financial crash, the duplicitous Wall Street type has become one of Hollywood’s bastards du jour, loathsomely populating movies like The Big Short and The Wolf of Wall Street. It takes a fine actor to breathe life into a type of character that’s fast becoming a cliche.

Enter Dominic West.

Since breaking out in The Wire some 15 years ago, Dominic West has become something of a go-to support act for whenever a filmmaker needs to class up a project. He’s unseen for much of Jodie Foster’s uneven Money Monster, but West’s few scenes as financial crook Walt Camby are a powerful look at how banksters, so detached from real life, are as unrepentant about wrecking the lives of regular folk as they are.
