“Skyfall” and “Spectre” director Sam Mendes’ first collaboration with Craig was on this adaptation of the Max Allan Collins graphic novel of the same name, where he plays the petty, ambitious son of a mob boss who falls into conflict with his adopted brother (Tom Hanks) after sabotaging a meeting with his father’s disgruntled underling. The film evidenced both his movie-star charisma and his fearlessness to test audiences’ sympathies in an unappealing role.
