The car accident in these first moments is completely disconcerting, not to mention unexpected. It might even scare you with its spontaneity. And as much as I'd love to delve into the fast-paced, chaotic climax, it's one of those occasions that's left to be seen rather than heard (but it's crazy!). Although Winstead is wonderful as the victim-turned-ass-kicker, 10 Cloverfield Lane lives and dies with John Goodman's impressive performance. With countless roles under his belt, Goodman has built a devoted following over the years - but he'll definitely enjoy newfound popularity after this role. Goodman is as effective as he is frightening, oscillating between a good-hearted man and a methodical, dominating captive. It's rare that a character like Goodman's Howard conveys so many facial changes in a single film. His past is clouded in mystery, while his sensitivities seem to have kept everyone in the bunker alive - and from what viewers learn about him, you - like Michelle - will find it impossible to truly trust this man . He's bossy, paranoid like everyone else - and based on Goodman's previous roles in films like The Gambler and The Hangover III (yes, I went there), it's obvious he was the perfect choice for that.
