15 Best Movie Performances Of 2018 (So Far)

14. Martin Freeman (Cargo)

Martin Freeman might best be known for his comedic roles, but the Netflix-distributed Cargo was immaculate proof of his incredible dramatic chops.

As a father desperately trying to keep his one-year-old daughter safe in the middle of a zombie pandemic, Freeman feels positively out of his element in the best way possible.

Rising firmly to the challenge and aided by a script which skirts around zombie movie contentions, Freeman does a marvellous job imbuing this tragic tale of survival with more than just the bare minimum level of emotional resonance.

It's a deeply committed performance that should hopefully earn Freeman more genre work in the future.
