Not a movie for everyone, but worth watching for those who enjoy black humour and dark cinema. 'Sexy Beast' is one slick wicked little film. Amanda Redman is electrifying in a smaller role. Ben Kingsley as the hatefully irritating and intimidating Logan is superb. He easily conveys Gal's complexity and dilemma with pathos. Logan won't give up and even he notices that everybody hates him (which is beginning to make him feel powerless). Logan desperately wants him to do a job but Gal bravely yet hesitantly turns it down. The characters are so interesting, while we hate Logan, we sympathize with his counterfeit Gal who is a retired gangster trying to live a straight life with his family and loyal friends. Glazer's direction is wonderful as he keeps the viewer engaged throughout the entire 90 minutes and effectively infuses wicked humour and suspense. Boy Culture (2006) This story about throuples and male. The screenplay is pretty tight, leaving no place for loose ends or irrelevant subplots. The Skinny (2012) A group of hot gay Black friends gather for a reunion and plenty of on-screen hookups. The writing is brilliant as some of the dialogues induce both humour and chill. It can be viewed as a conversational film, a study of characters and a psychological thriller. A handsome young prostitute learns about life and love during a sex-filled odyssey in an apartment building filled with strange inhabitants. Supported by fierce cinematography, black humour, chilling characters and strong language, 'Sexy Beast' works on many levels. This is one fascinating dark little film.
