So I just watched David Fincher's The Killer (2023) recently & it was great.

So what are some great movies told from the POV of characters who'd usually be the villains of the story. Criminals. Thieves, Assassins, Psychopaths, Serial Killers & straight up Super villains.

A few of my favorites are

1. The Godfather (1972)
2. Ocean's 11 (2001)
3. Thief (1981)
4. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
5. Goodfellas (1990)
6. Casino (1995)
7. American Psycho (2002)
8. Split (2017)
9. Payback (1999)
10. The Usual Suspects (1995)

Even though he's lying the entire time, if I remember correctly, the 1995 film "The Usual Suspects" is told from the POV of Verbal Kint. Incidentally, his name, Verbal Kint, was also a lie.

He in fact was the master manipulator of everything that took place criminally during the movie.

I think Fallen (1998) would at least partially fall under this.

Maybe Falling Down.
