11. Idris Elba, ‘Beasts of No Nation’

In an unknown country, in the midst of an unknown conflict, Idris Elba’s Commandant prowls the jungles in search of young boys he can press into service for the shadowy warlord he serves. The specific politics behind the Commandant’s are vague, which allows the audience to concentrate solely on his actions. Without real world politics to ground him, Elba’s Commandant is a true monster in every sense of the word and the actor rises to the occasion with true aplomb.
