3. Jeremy Renner's Insane Cameo

Marvel Studios

It's a damn shame that the trailers gave away Jeremy Renner's third-act cameo in this movie, where he appears as a mobster who gives the Johansens' operation an unhealthy dose of trouble.

Renner has a brief appearance late in the film that probably results in its most memorable scene, and to that end spoiling what happens would be nothing short of criminal.

The Avengers star has a bit of a knack for playing the straight-guy, and while he's hardly pulling off laughs-a-minute here, it is entertainingly surreal to see him hurled into such a peculiar scenario, especially considering what his character is put through before film's end (but again, no spoilers here).
