Combo - Total film top film baddie

[Morell™]

Has anybody see this months (January 08) Total Film magazine?



As well as mentioning that Shane should direct Halo 2. It lists Stephen Graham's Combo as one of it's top 50 movie Villains of all time, in it's Heroes & Villains special. not bad. I was looking for Morell or Richard in there but apparently Combo's the worst.

Is Shane not doing The Hobbit then? I hear it's all go, but no Peter Jackson onboard due to legal wranglings I think.

Wierd, I can't see Combo as a villian, even after his racism and beating of Milky. The scene where the two of them are getting stoned was one of the saddest scenes I've seen in a film. Combo listening to the story of loving families like they were happy fairy tales nearly had me crying.

Welcome to the site Hopkin!

I added a spoiler warning to your message incase someone who hasn't seen the film yet reads it.

Thanks Dave, I forgot about spoilers!

that sums up why I love Shanes films so much, I'd say Combo is probably one of the strongest antagonists I've seen in film,

I totally agree, and Richard in DMS is a perfect example of a character I have very mixed emotuions about. Save the cartoon baddies for the hollywood action films. Sometimes I like simplistic characters but it gets old quickly.
