The most ruthless bad guys I can think of are the Joker from The Dark Knight, the Butcher from Gangs of New York and Max Cady from Cape Fear.Scarface is a great movie but Tony Montana is a PUSSY for having a thing for his sister and all. Alejandro Sosa is ruthless but for the most his character is not developed enough to qualify as a top ruthless bad guy.
Any suggestions on who else should be on this list?
