1. Amy Elliott Dunne - The next time Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader and Hans Gruber throw one of their huge Masters Of Movie Evil dinners, they’d best save a seat at the head of the table for Amy Elliott Dunne. Rosamund Pike’s vengeful, scheming sociopath is a villain for the ages, switching effortlessly from doe-eyed America’s Sweetheart to cold-eyed, cold-hearted American Psycho in the blink of an eye. Beautifully played by Pike in one of the best ‘where did that come from?’ performances in years, Amy is utterly terrifying, a monster wearing human skin, calculating all the angles instantly and fiercely, and in one memorable case, fatally rejecting anything that doesn’t end up with her getting what she wants. Hers is the face that launched a thousand uncomfortable ‘you don’t think of me like that, do you, honey?’ conversations in the car on the way home from the screening.
