It's only the matter of time before the show gives us a look of the villain. The casting of Vincent D'Onofrio surprised me from the last episode's closure. He has proved to be a psychopath debonair, able to deliver awkward yet suave speech and numbingly vicious performance with equal elegance. Vincent D'Onofrio has played roles from the other side of the law, apparently he's just as versatile as an underworld crime boss.
The episode's story mainly follows a Russian gang led by two brothers, which part time as a cab company. Few of the antagonists have shown displeasure for the change on their insidious schedule, the Russian takes things further in almost rebellious way. Due to their volatile nature, they might even close in on Murdock and Claire. This gives Daredevil an immediate and dangerous threat to deal with. The Russian brothers are different from Fisk, they are brash and clearly violent. It's interesting to see the contrasting nature within the adversaries.
Acting is consistently solid for all mainstay actors. It's only been four episodes but they all feel familiar. Page has ventured deeper on the conspiracy, despite lacking means and money. She seems to be frail yet determined at the same time, it's hard not to root for the lady. The series depicts its characters with a touch of humility, which are so easily identifiable with audience. This also goes for Fisk, who steals the show with his unexpected low voice as well as slightly childish mannerism.
D'Onofrio is also physically menacing. At this point high caliber action from Daredevil is expected and this episode adequately produces such combat scene, although part of the action is attributed to D'Onofrio who might just participate in the most brutal scene yet. The show has neatly set foundation for the hero, and now it's done the same with the villain.
