Sexy Beast (2000)
Country: GB/SP/US
Technical: DeLuxe/Super 35 88m
Director: Jonathan Glazer
Cast: Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley, Amanda Redman, Ian McShane, James Fox
Synopsis:
A London crook, retired to the Costa del Sol, is coerced into one more job by his former associates.
Review:
A knowing variation on an old Western theme, with some familiar East-End types played with Pinteresque precision. The direction is bold, surreal at times, by a director of music videos who nevertheless knows when to cut and when not to. The language is strong indeed but this is superb adult entertainment.
