Best Scene: Sam and Tony in the prison cell.
4. Anthony Wong in Beast Cops - Wong gives an entertaining and sometimes moving portrayal of a lazy corrupt cop who tries to redeem himself.
Best Scene: Tung attempts his redemption.
3. Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski - Bridges gives an enjoyable performance as both a funny slacker but as well a straight man in the role he was apparently born to play.
Best Scene: The two Lebowskies meet.
2. Ian McKellen in Apt Pupil - McKellen's film is terrible as the film's direction stays in one direction while the writing goes in a completely different way. McKellen though matches the two opposing sides with his performance. The first side giving a chilling portrayal of an evil man given the chance to reflect on his evil deeds. The second being an entertaining portrayal of an evil Nazi. McKellen stays above the film by taking his own path apart from the film.
Best Scene: Dussander visits Todd's family.
Best Scene: Cahill and the Inspector's last meeting.
