Gal, Deedee, Aitch and Jackie, having left behind respective lives of ill-repute, bask in the sun of Spain and in the most essential brand of leisure. A hazy yarn of barbecues, beer and botched hunting expeditions make up their retirements, until a sudden and unforeseen disruption emerges from their past. Enter the childishly violent and hilariously edgy Don Logan. Through a series of side-splitting negotiations and irrevocable acts, retired crook Gal is forced to shake off the rust and accept one last mission, put forth by the menacing Logan, his ex-mentor. A heist of legendary proportion and personal implications, this job should make for one hell of an encore.
Leave your thoughts about Sexy Beast.
| Screen It!Jim JudyThis is certainly a decent entry in the noir genre and a good calling card for Glazer. |
| ObserverAndrew SarrisOne of the more interesting efforts in its genre, though it has been somewhat overrated. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanCarries so much impacted menace and visual narrative gamesmanship that it brought back some of the excitement I felt nearly a decade ago watching Quentin Tarantino's ''Reservoir Dogs.'' |
| San Francisco ChronicleWesley MorrisA vicious horror flick with an actual beast and someone who just acts like one. |
| SalonAndrew O'HehirAn extraordinary and original creation. It belongs alongside "Amores Perros" and "Memento" on a shortlist of 2001's most exciting revelations. |
| The Film YapNick RogersIt's not just the ironic kick of watching the guy who played Gandhi get his rocks off on sociopathic violence. Ben Kingsley's Don Logan is one of cinema's all-time fearsome, loathsome villains - stalking even the frames from which he's absent. |
| Scott Mantz' Movie ReviewsScott A. MantzOne of the best modern mob movies ever made. |
| Houston ChronicleLouis B. ParksQuirky details of character, implied but unstated background and lovely performances keep us enthralled. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe main event is the Mamet-esque battle of foul words between vintage hard-case Ray Winstone and the seething sociopath played by Ben Kingsley. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanMarks a debut of amazing panache and confidence by music video director Jonathan Glazer. |
