Sexy Beast - 2000 - 7/10
Gandhi? Who’s that?
A retired criminal, enjoying sunny Spain, is pressured / coerced to take part in one “last big score.”
Yes, aren’t they all?
He’s made his pile, warm sunshine is nicer than cold rain, his wife is happy.
Alas, the crime lord has dispatched a total psychopath Don (Ben Kingsley, unforgettable).
The script pays attention to secondary and tertiary characters, and the caper is a corker.
Thing is, Kingsley’s performance or character is so dominating, it skews the entire film.
