Logan: 10 Best Moments

10. "Beware The Light"

Stephen Merchant sure was a weird casting choice for mutant tracker Caliban, all the more so because writer-director James Mangold allowed him to retain his native West Country accent, but the end result was undeniably terrific.

Caliban gets a number of small scenes throughout the film that build up to him making the ultimate sacrifice when the Munsons' farm is attacked. At this point, Caliban is still imprisoned inside a Reaver van, so decides to detonate two grenades, ending with the awesome one-liner, "Beware the light" (which Donald Pierce said to him earlier in the movie before torturing him).

The resulting explosion kills Caliban and a Reaver inside the van, while Pierce is catapulted several feet outside of it. Sacrificial explosive deaths in movies are pretty cliched at this point, but here it actually worked superbly.
