Movie: Sexy Beast
It’s hard for me to come up with anything that makes this movie special. Ben Kingsley won an Oscar for his performance, but I have to suspect it’s at least partly due to the contrast between the crass, swearing character of Don Logan and other Kingsley roles such as Ghandi. All the acting is good, and there are funny jokes and gags in the midst of the dark story. I enjoyed it despite the fact that it didn’t seem to go anywhere with all these high-quality elements.
