Product Description

 
Jonathan Glazer, the award-winning director of advertisements and music videos, presents his feature film debut with this lushly photographed, expertly written, and brilliantly performed convention-defying British gangster film. SEXY BEAST jettisons the slickness of the LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS school in favor of intricate character development. In its opening shot, Gary "Gal" Dove (Ray Winstone)--a big-bellied ex-gangster with a cockney accent--is sunning himself pool side at his luxe villa on Spain's Costa Del Sol when a gigantic boulder hurtles down a hillside, almost killing him. This near miss serves as a troublesome portent, but it hardly affects Gal, who is immersed in his tranquil life with wife Deedee (Amanda Redman), who he adores with earnest fervor. However, Gal's peace is soon shattered by the arrival of Don Logan (Ben Kingsley, using his shaved skull, spare frame, and ramrod posture to pose as an anti-Gandhi), a brutal former accomplice looking to recruit Gal for a heist. A batt...

Sexy Beast: Villains and Anti-heroes are fun to watch sometimes.

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: Strange, dark film about a gangster who doesn't want to get back in the game. Only for those with a strong stomach.
Review: I had heard about Ben Kingsley performance in this, and after hearing one reviewer describe him as the Anti-Gandhi in this, I knew I had to see it. It's a talky, dangerous film, where morality has the thinnest of skins, and like a train wreck, you...

Gandhi goes bad in heist film by next (?) Welles (JuiceJW's Future of Hollywood Write-Off)

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Roughly 356 directors have been announced as the next Welles. But if Jonathan Glazer delivers on the promise in his debut, it looks good that he'll take the title.
Review:

Orson Welles once said that the sets, props and costumes that belonged to RKO were the greatest set of toys anyone could ask for. If British director Jonathan Glazer ever gets his hands on the toys Hollywood has, it will be his audience...

Don Logan, The Ultimate Bully

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: "Sexy Beast" is a cool, stylish crime film from Jonathan Glazer led by Ben Kingsley's Uncompromising, Shocking Performance. (4.5 out of 5)
Review: One of the most versatile and respected British actors of the past 30 years, Sir Ben Kingsley has always amazed audiences with his diverse roles ranging from a gangster, war criminal, Holocaust survivor, U.S. vice president, and most recently, an...
