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...

Jonathon Glazer?s SEXY BEAST 2000*

Date of Review:  May 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a funny sort of offbeat film that appealed to my sense of the ridiculous, big time! Great cast makes it memorable.
Review: **Note: The movie was not aired anywhere until January 2001, so if this movie is dated by the time of its release, it is really 2001.


This appears to be one of those movies that inspired my friend Stephen_ Murray to say once of...

Each of us Is a SEXY BEAST (in a Way).

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: SEXY BEAST adds to a list of British crime films following the tradition of NIGHT AND THE CITY, THE ASPHALT JUNGLE and RIFIFI. Different in its emphasis on character study.
Review: The British have a curious affection for gangsters, different from our interest in the Godfathers of Crime. They like the little guy, the "soldier," who gets away with it, like Ronnie Biggs of The Great Train Robbery fame.

On a cold, damp...

"Stylish But Nasty"

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Edgy, gritty film noir about a foul, menacing man.
Review: Given the extravagant hype at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival surrounding this stylish British thriller, there's less to it than meets the eye. Director Jonathan Glazer, best known for his work in commercials...

This summer's critical fraud

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: Avoid it.
Review: This summer's widely-acclaimed fancily-edited British gangster film (Sexy Beast) is far inferior to last summer's (Croupier), and its East London dialect is at times unintelligible to this American's ears.

In it, a plump, body-hairless,...

Beast of Burden

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is the hip movie of the year. Wanna impress people? Tell them you've seen "Sexy Beast." Just make sure they know it's not porn.
Review: With a funny title and the one-time Mahatma Ghandi now playing the Ma-hitman Grande, "Sexy Beast" is fast becoming the hip gangster flick of the year. Slick and stylish, it takes the proverbial "one last job" story and puts a completely different...

Not Sexy, Just Beastly

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is not a sexy beast. It would like for you to think so, though.
Review: "Sexy Beast" has a great look that's wrapped up in a standard crime caper. It pretends to have surprises, but it really doesn't. "Sexy Beast" is the tale of a retired thief named Gal (Ray Winstone) who has found a life of ease with his wife in a...

In "Sexy Beast", Ghandi Kicks Butt.

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Definitely worth seeing, but I just can't say that this is the five star movie that all the critics are raving about.
Review: I hate to say that for all the huge praise thrown about by critics reviewing this film, I was a little disappointed by "Sexy Beast". It was good, very good in some ways, but something about it just didn't work for me.

Ray Winstone plays...
