#2 Thomas Jane as Jim Jacobs in 'The Veil' (2016)
In kind of a unique take on the modern cult film, twenty-five years after members of a religious cult committed mass suicide, the lone survivor returns to the scene of the tragedy with a documentary crew in tow. Thomas Jane dominates the film as leader Jim. Jane rewrote most of his character's dialog to convert him from a fundamentalist Christian to an occultist. This works in so many ways as Jane seems to be chanelling Jim Jones and David Koresh, with elements of the rockstar Charles Manson. Its kinda like if Jim Morrison had a cult.
