    Ben Kingsley shocked me in this. He's Ghandi, for Christ's sakes! And Ghandi is dropping f-bombs like a drunken $2 whore. The dialogue is pretty good, but the cussing goes "just a bit" overboard (and is repetitive)while the story is actually pretty thin. Ray Winstone and Ian McSh...( read more)ane were good in this, but they were kinda wasted a bit. Not bad, but could've been better. Maybe?

    A gripping, wild and explosive crime thriller. It's terifficlyy funny and wildly entertaining. It's powerful and stunning with plenty of style to burn. Ben Kingsley is electrifying, one of his best performances of his career. Definately one of the most memorable gangster characte...( read more)rs since Scarface. Kingsley is live, snaping, sparking live wire. Ray Winestone is terrific. Ian McShane is marvelous. A classic. Bone-chilling and thrilling. A brilliant film. This is a movie that you cant turn away from. A masterpiece. It's dark, funny, wicked and refreshingly entertaining.

    A superb performance by Ben Kingsley who had the accent and style of talk down to an absolute ?T?. The film itself and storyline seemed to lack something I can?t quite put my finger on. Less convincing to British viewers was the idea of Ian McShane, aka Lovejoy as the top guy. ...( read more)



    Ben Kingsley?s performance is definitely the biggest contribution to the amount of stars but just have to mention how great Amanda Redman looked in this, especially as a Brunette.

    ?FAN DABI ? DOBI ? TASTIC!? mutters Gary (Ray Winston), baking in the Spanish mid-day sun - a British ex ?con, who has served his time and now resigned to peaceful retirement in the Costa Del Crime, with ex porn star wife Amanda Redman.


    However one realises this domestic id...( read more)yll is not going to continue when a giant boulder comes plummeting down the hillside (Raiders of the Lost Ark style) into Gary?s pool. The Utopia smashed, worse things are to come for Gary, with a phone call from old gang leader Don Logan, played by Ben Kingsley. Any serenity Kingsley used for his Ghandhi role has been used up, and he plays an unhinged psychotic on a par with Dennis Hopper?s Frank Booth ? bringing danger, chaos and unease where he goes.


    Glazer makes a nod to Takeshi Kitano?s style of balancing this forboding with surreal and almost slapstick comedic moments

    ?What?s that??

    ?A goat!?


    Worth watching alone, to see TVs Lovejoy (Ian McShane playing Teddy) being rooted by James Fox in an orgy scene. The action then switches to England for one last job where the net and tension around Gary?s Sexy Beast gets ever tighter, bringing a sense of tension universally lacking in the rest of the British Modern Gangster genre. As Glazer?s first feature, things look very promising for this excellent British director.

    "Fan-dabby-dozy-tastic"

    An extremely entertaining and strange film that I will probably watch over and over. LOL "Don" (Ben Kingsley) tries to coerce "Gal" (Ray Winstone) out of gangster retirement for one last job.

    Ben's performance is stunning and Ray holds hi...( read more)s own. Loved Ray's opening scenes by the pool in the yellow speedos!

    Sexy Beast was a normal gangster movie, although there was not much shooting involved. It was a very slow paced movie. Too damn slow...( read more).
    The story was about a retired British gangster named Gal, who decided to live a normal life with his wife in Spain and had no intention coming back . His former boss played by Ben Kingsley wants him to do another job that will lead to dramatic endings. The director had put too many importance in the emotions and relationships, which made the movie so boring. I expected more shootings and actions.The movie was only 90 minutes,.but I felt like I had spent 2 hours watching.
