A great film to finish the 2012 December project with. Marvellous British film making with a fabulous cast of very talented actors. Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley and Ian McShane make this film so very watchable, and rewatchable.
I watched a recording - it's on Film4 in 30 minutes - if you haven't seen it set your DVR now! -
Film #22 of The Damned December Project
This was my first time watching Sexy Beast, and oh buddy is it a sexy beast. Never has Ray Winstone looked so gold and young! Never has Sir Ben Kingsley been so fucking amazing. Never has a heist scene been so original. Never has a British Crime Drama been so different and beautiful.
The confidence of the direction is hard to dispute. There are amazing scenes with amazing shots. The acting is inspired,…

This is the only clip of this I've seen. And I rate it five stars. When I watch the whole of this, expect an in-depth review.

Some of the best acting of the 2000 decade.
Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone, of course. But also Ian McShane, who is TERRIFYING in the film.

I am not a keen Brit flick lover but when I first seen this film it blew me away. Just the right length, quick moving and excellent acting from Winstone and Kingsley. YES YES YES YES !! Go and rent it if you havent seen it.

Sexy Beast is a great riff on the "one last job" story for a retired gangster.
The film takes all those qualities and twists them in such a way it is masterful. From the moment the boulder nearly kills Ray Winstone and lands in his love heart tiled pool, the motif the film relies on springs to life. All this is helped by great performances across the board.
