Top Action Films of 2017

Logan, starring Hugh Jackman (Logan), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier), Stephen Merchant (Caliban), Dafne Keen (X-23/Laura Kinney), Boyd Holbrook (Donald Pierce) and others, set in 2029, is about an aged and exhausted Wolverine taking care of an ill Professor X near the Mexican border. Logan is now a limo driver and runs into Donald Pierce on the job, who threatens him with Xavier, knowing he is still alive. He then runs into Laura and her guardian who pays him to take her to Canada. Throughout the film and along their journey, the emotional ride takes us to finding out who Laura is and the dystopian, mutantless future this world is set in. Logan is a fantastic action thriller with great filming, acting and directing that is great for any X-Men lover from their late teens as it has strong bloody violence and profanity throughout with some upsetting scenes. I loved it and it was an amazing way to exit the character of Wolverine after 17 years of Jackman playing him.
