	Sexy Beast
		With his role as Don Logan in Sexy Beast, Kingsley shatters any leftover notions of a king, gentle, passively resistant Kingsley and cements the fact that he is a damn good actor.
		Sexy Beast opens with him lazing by a pool, burning in the Spanish sun.
		Sexy Beast is at heart a movie about Dove, although Logan steals the show every time he is on screen.

	Sexy Beast (2000) - RUTHLESS REVIEWS: Movies
		Sexy Beast is the latest in the burgeoning line of cockney British gangster flicks, counting The Limey and Guy Ritchie flicks as its predecessors.
		Sexy Beast has a plot, but like all great movies, the characters rise far above whatever the limitations of the plot might be.
		It simply amazes me how great a movie Sexy Beast is. The camera work is great, from the colors chosen for each scene to the actual shots themsleves, like when the pool boy has a rabit lined up in his rifle's sights, everything is a delight to look at.

	Sexy Beast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sexy Beast is an unusual heist film on several levels.
		Beast rejects the classic face-off of good and evil for a more intriguing war of wits between the bad guys -- Logan (Ben Kingsley) and his boss, Teddy Bass (Ian McShane) -- and the not-so-bad guys, Gal (Ray Winstone) and his companion, Deedee (Amanda Redman) and their friend Jackie (Julianne White).
		Sexy Beast is a lot of things: a suspenseful heist film, an insightful interpersonal drama, a parable of man's inhumanity to man and an exercise in perfectly timed sight gags and laugh-out-loud visual humor.

		The more times I see "Sexy Beast," the more ways there are of reading it.
		What makes "Sexy Beast" so good, and so English, finally, is the ambivalence of Don Logan -- for this monster, this demon, this beast is also the life force, the scourge of any half-baked notion that the human organism "retires" or relents.
		No, retirement is doing dirt on life, on beastliness and on the kind of dying urge by which the blood-soaked Don wants to wrap his arms round Jackie's bare legs and leave her so bloodied that she recalls the thrill and the horror of her first period.

	Sexy Beast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	London Calling: Sexy Beast
		Sexy Beast has many qualities in common with Steven's Soderbergh's The Limey (1999) - particularly in terms of the way they respectively contrast the light of sun-soaked Spain and LA with the half-light drabness of London.
		Sexy Beast is not a film without its weaknesses; the brief dream sequences involving what looks like human size feral rabbit (or is it the 'sexy beast' of the title?) seem to be a misjudgement (though hardly terrible).
		Sexy Beast does not present characters with either Melville's grace or purity of action, but it does present a portrait of a superficially serene world touched by brutality, gentleness and a kind of resigned acceptance.

	Sexy Beast
		Sexy Beast may be somewhat of a misnomer but Jonathan Glazer's debut film which slyly shifts between Costa del Sol Spain and London is a stylish, unrelenting caper flick driven by its characters, the main ones played by Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley don't seem very sexy but they have the qualities of beasts.
		Sexy Beast becomes boldly alluring based on Gal's promise of living on the right side of the law to wife Deedee (Amanda Redman).
		Sexy Beast works in some lighter, if striking moments as all the while the plot steam-rolls on the opportunity to be a part of a bank heist, but remains impassioned with Don's impulsive playing of a poker hand that involves people in Gal's home life.

		On the commentary track for "Sexy Beast" director Jonathan Glazer reduces the film to the level of a Greek myth wherein once upon a time there was a man who thought he was happy and the gods sent him the unhappiest man on earth.

	dvdfuture.com :: Review - Sexy Beast
		"Sexy Beast" was unknown to me until Kingsley got his nomination for Best Supporting Actor for 2001.
		"Sexy Beast" centers around Gal (Winstone), who is a retired gangster who is living the life up with his wife, Deedee (Redman), in Spain.
		The "beast" part could refer to any of the main characters as none of them are angels, even Gal.

	DVD Review: Sexy Beast
		Tucked back in the smallest auditorium (which consisted of 88 seats, which was fitting since the movie plays for about 88 minutes or so) of an 18-screen theater like a hidden gem, this film-festival favorite has been playing for a couple of months to good word-of-mouth and solid box office for independent fare.
		Overall, aside from a few minor bumps, "Sexy Beast" is often a riveting crime drama that showcases two performances that really deserve notice, especially Kingsley's rapid-fire Don Logan, one of the more intimidating and threatening villians that I've seen on-screen in quite a while.
		VIDEO: "Sexy Beast" is presented by 20th Century Fox in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen (the box mistakenly states that the film is 1.85:1).

	EI > Reviews > Sexy Beast (2001)
		"Beast" tells the story of a retired thief, Gal (Ray Winstone), and his former porn star wife, DeeDee (Amanda Redman), who are tormented by Don who has paid them a visit in order to enlist Gal in the latest job.
		Glazer takes time in "Beast" for quiet moments in Spain, environment all washed out white, lazy couples lounging playfully in the evening hours intoxicated and, yet, tragically sad as if hiding and running from a past that is bound to catch them eventually.
		It is difficult to criticize "Beast" except that I had a problem with a dream sequence involving a rabbit/human, but these scenes accomplish the purpose of unnerving the audience.

	Jigsaw Lounge - Sexy Beast
		Five minutes into Sexy Beast a massive boulder comes bouncing down a Spanish hillside, narrowly missing a startled Ray Winstone as it lands in his swimming pool.
		But Sexy Beast is much more than a mesh of ironic references, bold images and clever-clever touches.
		Sexy Beast has enough going for it to suggest Glazer is precisely the kind of kick up the arse the British film industry has been waiting for.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Sexy Beast"
		"Sexy Beast" strikes me as the first film since "Trainspotting" to synthesize all these influences into something utterly distinctive and defiantly British (actually English, in this case) in character.
		Louis Mellis and David Scinto's screenplay for "Sexy Beast" began as a stage play, and it retains much of that tangled intensity and claustrophobia (which rarely, indeed almost never, works this well on-screen).
		By this point in "Sexy Beast" (whose title, in true Mamet/Pinter fashion, remains inscrutable) Glazer has already taken more chances, and created a more compelling atmosphere, than some directors manage in their entire careers.

	Sexy Beast - A Reel Rambling production by J Salisbury
		First of all, to dispel any misconceptions that the films title may give, Sexy Beast has about as much to do with sensuality, as an Adam Sandler film has to do with existentialism.
		Sexy Beast could have been a continuing tale in the growing genre of British crime films, which is being led by Ritchie.
		Sexy Beast just misses, by putting very complex and conflicted characters into a very plain and sometimes pointless story.

		Several moments in Sexy Beast, Glazer's feature film debut, crackle with the exuberance and daring techniques that Welles brought to such memorable pieces of film as the famous extended tracking shot in Touch of Evil.
		Sexy Beast doesn't have any symbols as meaningful as Rosebud or as subtle as the dining room table that grows longer as Charles Foster Kane and his wife grow apart from each other.
		If Glazer finds his Mankiewicz to help him channel his talents and enthusiasm, or if he finds the discipline within himself, Sexy Beast promises to be the start of a career that will enthrall audiences for generations into Hollywood's bright future.

	Sexy Beast
		The basic contours of the plot are familiar: Former crook Gal (Ray Winstone), happily retired to a Spanish seaside villa with his beloved wife, ex-hooker Deedee (Amanda Redman), is bullied by Don (Ben Kingsley), a sinister cohort from his past, into committing a high-stakes heist back in their native England.
		With their suntans, garish jewelry, and ostentatious dream house, Gal and Deedee look like gangster clichs; that their devotion to one another is so convincing and moving is among the film's refreshing surprises.
		Sexy Beast evokes inevitable comparisons to Guy Ritchie's heist films with its flashy, MTV-style camera work (a former music video director, Glazer makes brilliant use of the Stranglers' raunchy, irresistible punk classic "Peaches" in the film's opening scene), and when the action shifts to England, it succumbs to genre conventions.

	Movieman's Guide to the Movies - Sexy Beast (2000)
		Sexy Beast offers many qualities both thrilling and vulgar, with breaks to quite promiscuous violence and profane language, and is very much against the grain of all mainstream Hollywood productions.
		Despite this, it manages to provide some outstandingly stylish sequences of dialogue, action and surrealism, all of which are heightened by its pounding soundtrack and brilliant cinematography.
		Jonathon Glazer is obviously a director that could face a very successful career in the US, but for now Sexy Beast is perhaps only for those wanting a less conventional movie experience.

		The oddly-titled Sexy Beast (oddly titled because neither of the main characters is sexy, although both are certainly beasts) focuses on a husband's determination to honor a promise he made to his wife.
		Although the chief pleasure of watching Sexy Beast lies in absorbing the performances of Winstone and (especially) Kingsley, Glazer displays a lively visual style that offers moments of surprise and gratification.
		There's a priceless scene early in the proceedings featuring a boulder and a swimming pool that has to be seen to be believed.
