Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

Bill Nighy's Davy Jones can be frightening while looking tired of his own legend. The vocal hesitations and wounded impatience survive the elaborate digital face, giving this supernatural creditor a heaviness Jack Sparrow's restless evasions cannot supply. Depp is the comic motor, but Jones provides the sequel's most melancholy authority. This is a continuing middle chapter with unresolved business, so choose it for the performance rather than a neatly closed adventure.
