One that nearly spills into melodrama, but not quite.

Whether it is as the rage-filled Killmonger, who fights back tears upon meeting the spirit of his father, or as the battered, betrayed Adonis Creed who asks Rocky Balboa to leave his hospital ward, Jordan brings a beautiful restraint to his breakdowns. We've seen him do it in the Creed films, and then we also saw a version of his heavy-breathing breakdown in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther. He does it again in Stefano Sollima's Without Remorse, based on Tom Clancy's novel of the same name.

There's something to be said about Michael B Jordan lying on a hospital bed, with tubes emerging from his body, him sniffling under them, while also taking deep breaths.
