Nothing SEXY nor BEASTLY about it.

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: Don't bother, unless you think it coool to watch incessant smoking, drinking, swearing and boring, empty characters.
Review: This movie was truly disappointing. I am not trying to violate language rules for writing reviews here, but if you want to hear what constantly comes out of Ben Kingsly's mouth throoughout the movie:
"...fuc*, fuc*, fuc* fuc*...cun*, cun*,...

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...

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...

Attack of the Anti-Gandhi?

Date of Review:  May 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: Solid performance by Kingsley enhanced by pleasantly surprising work by entire supporting cast...
Review: A recent tabloid article mentioned that Ben Kingsley had stopped going out for beers because of rowdies greeting him with, "Hey, Gandhi, how's it going!" Maybe Sexy Beast was Kingsley's ultimate anti-Gandhi statement, and he definitely makes his...

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...

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...

Ganhdi Goes Gangsta

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: No script. No movie. All hype and Ben Kingsley. If you want something equally stupid and British--go rent "Snatch."
Review: This is starting to become a trend where British film-makers paste together a non-script comprising of thick, incomprehensible accents along with big-name actors who take a pay cut to be in an "edgey" film.

Ben Kingsley, perhaps one of our...

"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...

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...

See it!

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: See it and enjoy the characters, the evolving story.
Review: I loved this movie.

The characterizations are spot-on for the leading actors. Ben Kingsely was so convincing it made me think hard about how I would deal with someone as unhinged and as driven as him (talking him out of it is no option)...
