Meet Vic Dakin. Then wish you hadn’t. Michael Tuchner’s feature directorial debut (based on the 1968 British crime novel The Burden of Proof) follows Richard Burton as Vic Dakin, the sadistic overlord of one of London’s most notorious criminal empires. The good guys are closing in and Dakin is becoming increasingly entombed in his own sexual and physical brutality as he races to silence those who might betray him. Most stories have a hero. This one has a Villain.
