The best of Logan's several fantastic action scenes occurs early on, when Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) discovers Logan's (Hugh Jackman) hideout while pursuing Laura aka X-23 (Dafne Keen).

When Pierce sends UFC fighter Krzysztof Soszynski in to subdue her, she promptly removes his head and throws it down in protest, before putting her claws to good use attacking any of Pierce's men dumb enough to come near her.

At this point, Logan joins the party, murdering any men trying to steal Laura away, before diving into his limousine and trying to make an escape with Laura and Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) in tow. Cue a thrilling sequence in which Logan uses a barbed wire fence to get rid of some pesky bikers, and just barely drives clear of an oncoming train.

Visually gorgeous, viscerally rough and brutally R-rated, this is what fans have wanted to see out of a Logan movie for two decades, and finally, James Mangold delivered it.
