6. Daniel Craig Gives His Best Performance In Years

This probably won't be too surprising to anyone who watched the movie's trailers, but yes, Daniel Craig's performance as Joe Bang, an explosives expert who joins the Logans' heist, is the film's easy highlight.

Craig hasn't exactly given many memorable recent performances outside of his work as James Bond, so it's incredibly refreshing to see him taking such a radical divergence from his usual fare.

With his bleach-blonde hair, deep southern drawl and array of prison tattoos, Craig is clearly having an absolute blast here, and above all else, it's proof he really needs to do more comedy roles in the future.

If he landed a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination next year for this riotous performance, it would be thoroughly well-deserved.
