3. Dominique Fishback Is The Easy MVP

Though Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jamie Foxx absolutely give it their all, the strongest performance in the movie actually comes from young up-and-comer Dominique Fishback, who plays Power dealer Robin.

Fishback does a fantastic job making the audience feel for Robin's fraught personal circumstances, yet at the same time being amusingly spunky and outgoing, allowing her to hold her own against her A-list co-stars.

In a genre still struggling to offer diverse representation across the board, Robin makes for an uncommon and appealing protagonist, despite her lack of star power compared to Gordon-Levitt and Foxx.
