Whether he's courting controversy away from the cameras or sleepwalking his way through another tired performance as Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp's stock in Hollywood has been plummeting for some time.

But the Pirates of the Caribbean star is still capable of knocking roles out of the park on occasion. Case in point, the part of the gangster-turned-cadaver in Kenneth Branagh's stylish Murder on the Orient Express remake.

Although Depp had limited screen time in the movie, he channelled enough bad vibes to convince the audience that everyone who has ever crossed paths with him wants him dead. And that's exactly what he needed to do.

The actor took his cues from Richard Widmark's portrayal in the 1974 version, but made the part his own, and left a powerful impression that lasted until long after his character had met his end.
