Description:
Riveting in his intensity, Ben Kingsley delivers "his best performance ever" (Premiere Magazine) in this high-voltage crime thriller that crackles with chilling style and wit. A savage gangstere name Don Logan (Kingsley) is met with resistance when he tries to recruit a retired pal (Ray Winstone) for "one last job." But Logan just won't take no for an answer...
Amazon.com:
A retired British gangster (Ray Winstone) is trying to keep out of a London heist, despite the efforts of Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a goateed, shaved-headed pit bull of a gangster in this raw, startling film that grabs your attention and never lets go. Gary "Gal" Dove lounges at his villa on Costa del Sol, with not a care in the world, until his Mediterranean paradise is interrupted by Logan, just arrived to recruit Gal for a London heist led by mob boss Teddy Bass (Ian McShane). Gal refuses the job; Logan won't hear it. He's human nitroglycerine, ready to explode at the slightest provocation, spewing Cockney profanities like armor-piercing bullets. Sexy Beast presents him as hilarious and horrifying, a soloist whose instrument is pure, bilious rage.
Kingsley's volatile performance--the polar opposite of his Oscar®-winning role in Gandhi--expands the actor's range into startlingly unexpected territory. It's the white-hot center of Sexy Beast, but the feature debut of director Jonathan Glazer (after acclaimed TV commercials and music videos) is equally noteworthy for the performance of the lesser-known Winstone, and also for Glazer's brass-knuckle approach to what is, essentially, a conventional gangland thriller. Glazer's instincts aren't always sound (dream sequences involving a hideous man-rabbit prove a bit too peculiar), but with pugilistic rhythm and a humorous knack for combining well-chosen songs and a rough, kinetic visual style, Sexy Beast is a wild ride. --Jeff Shannon.

There is no sex in Sexy Beast, but Ben Kingsley's performance brings out the beast as a psychopathic gangster. The tension increases as a retired criminal is urged to take part in a robbery with former partners in crime. Ben Kingsley's scene at the airport is one of his best performances. If you like gangster flicks with lots of tension, you'll like this one. This movie is most definitely not for children.

THIS MOVIE DOES NOT BELONG ON TOP TEN UNDERGROUND MOVIES. I'VE SEEN MOST OF THE TOP 20 AND THIS DOES NOT MAKE TOP 50. TOUGH TO STAY AWAKE. NEVER REALLY GETS GOING. I DON'T MIND ACTION MOVIES WITH GOOD CLEVER DIALOGUE, BUT THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE AND ACTION MOVIE BUT HAS LITTLE TO NO ACTION, NO GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE, AND MISPLACED CLEVER DIALOGUE. JUST DIDN'T GET IT AT ALL.

Sorry, I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes of this movie and I love Ben Kingsley. It just didn't do it for me.

`Sexy Beast' is just that; it possesses a savage sexuality that rivets through the audience and draws them in, never letting go. It's not your average gangster film. It's smart and original and thrilling. Couple the tight script with elegant direction and a marvelous cast, that includes two brilliant performances by the male leads (Kingsley and Winstone sizzle), and you have one of the finest films of 2001. It's hard to find a single flaw within this breathtaking film; so why bother looking. ... Read More

These words, "I won't let you be happy, why should I?" are spoken by "Don Logan," homicidal, sociopathic enforcer for London Mob boss "Teddy Bass," AKA, "The Man With The Plan." Logan is the central protagonist in "Sexy Beast," to "Gary 'Gal' Dove," a comfortably retired blagger - bank robber - living in Spain with his wife, and ex-porn star, "Deedee." When not hanging 'round the pool of their villa, Gal and Deedee spend time in bars and restaurants with another couple, "Aitch" - as in the letter ... Read More
