Cannes Film Festival 2013

Best and Worst of the 2011 Toronto Film Festival: 'Shame,' 'Your Sister's Sister,' 'Wuthering Heights'

Where do ''Ides of March,' 'The Raid,' 'Twixt' fit in?

Best: "The Raid"

Director: Gareth Evans

Cast: Iko Uwais
Why:  Pure adrenaline.  The reason I go to action movies.  The kind of film you can't wait to write about as a critic to make sure people know that this is something special, a best-case scenario.  Most action stars only get one or two films this good, and that's if they're lucky.  Let's put it this way… this will take up permanent residence on the shelf of any fan of Asian action.  It's that simple.
