Nothing could prepare me for the final scene in Beast.

Not our stellar review, nor the weeks full of jokes amongst our staff about The Daily Beast (I mean, our Twitter handle is @beastobsessed, so) readied me for the jaw-dropping five minutes of pure ecstasy at the end of Idris Elba’s new action-thriller.

At the end of the film, Nate (Elba), an ER doctor, engages in hand-to-hand combat with a giant, Jaws-sized lion. Read that again. Hand-to-hand combat. With a big honkin’ lion.
