Villain (悪人, Akunin) is a 2010 Japanese drama film directed by Lee Sang-il, based on Shuichi Yoshida's crime noir novel of the same name.

Abandoned by his mother at an early age, Yuichi Shimizu is a young man who lives with and takes care of his grandparents in a decaying fishing village near Nagasaki.

It becomes apparent that Yoshino keenly feels her own lack of social status (as the daughter of a barber), and has her real sights set on a spoiled rich university student by the name of Keigo Masuo, whom she met in a bar and subsequently pesters with emails.

He agrees to take her for a drive (and presumably something more), but is increasingly disgusted by her, insults her, and ends up violently throwing her out of his car on an isolated mountain road, leaving her stranded in the middle of the night.

By this time, however, Masuo has been cleared of the murder, and evidence has surfaced of Yuichi's involvement—Yuichi is now the wanted criminal: his face appears on the news, and his family are hounded by the media.
