Sexy Beast
Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley give smashing
performances as gangsters going through a
second childhood. Winstone is the pudgy,
cuddly, infant-like Gal, who just wants to go
to sleep with his bottle. Kingsley is the
threatening Don, a four-year-old in the body
of an ex-middleweight champion who shows up
at Gal's idyllic Spanish villa to try to
persuade him to come out on one last crime
caper. But it's not a movie about the retired
gangster going for one more score; rather,
it's a creepy, funny film about human
relations. Spacious, sweaty cinematography by
Ivan Bird and spot-on acting by the
supporting players make this one of the most
mature and engaging films of the summer.
