remember it coming out but never got round to seeing it, watched it last night and thought it was very good!

as mentioned, never heard the C word so many times in a film/on t.v!

that bald dude was a scary f*cker! like it when theres a really small guy who all the big guys are scared of because they know he's a complete nut job!

like danni divito in casino!

Isn't it always good on a 'film review type of thread' when someone takes the time to back up their opinions with sound reasoning as to why they did or didn't like it. It really helps others decide if it's the sort of film they should bother watching.

Was Ok. Thought they could have shown more voilence though to show what a nutter Ben K was. Only real gangster stuff was near the end. I'd have also like to have seen more about the heist and the planning etc. Thought it was a bit weak overall.

see your point there, wasnt a great deal of 'action' really,

did think it was well made and well acted though.

must of been able to make the film for peanuts, was only a handfull of locations and no big special effects or action sequences...

I've seen it before and it was past my bedtime to watch it last night. lol

I thought Ben K was like Alf Garnett with that accent lol!

What happens to him anyway? I seem to recall a car or a rock rolling down the hill and killing him or something stupid like that?

Excellent - thoroughly enjoyed it - great acting, good camera work and an interesting storyline.

"Thought it was sh1te" - a career in film reviewing awaits!!!

Seen it before and enjoyed it again, Ben K was the shining star, my misses kept looking up from her book and saying "did that Ghandi bloke say c*** again?"

Classic, reminds me of home *sniff*

Ben K was the best thing about it really, everything else was v weak.
The security guard at my old job really got into it. He took to walking round the warehouse quoting Ben K's lines.
Funny 'til the day the top brass were walking round and were greeted by him entering the other end of the warehouse yelling "you will, you will, you will, you F**king cvnt"
Moments you live for!!!

Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley are an interesting pairing, but I think they work rather well together. I have to admit I do rather like Sexy Beast, it's dark humor which appeals to me, a bit like Love, Honour & Obey (If you like Operation Good Guys then you'd love L, H & O )

You got very nice eyes, DeeDee. Never noticed them before. They real?

Sexy Beat is excellent - I'm moving tp Spain myself in a few weeks and when I have a bad day at work in the U.K I put on the Sexy Beast DVD - love the bit when he's around the swimming pool with the chilled out background music "it's ****ing hot"

If you guys like this film, may I also recommend 'Nil by Mouth' - quite gritty and violent (domestic violence) but again a good film of the same Ray Winstone ilk IMHO...

Nil By Mouth, very good, written and directed by some bloke called Gary Oldman, can't say I've heard of him Allegedly based on Gary's early life growing up in London.
