(1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 75% Fresh Page   1   "Casi podemos sentir el calor de este protagonista, alguien que claramente tendrá algo que contarnos después de una entrada tan relajada..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "Loses some of its juice when [Don's] not on screen, but when he is, the wreckage he embodies feels irreparable."   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs 3.5/4 "Nonetheless, in a summer full of "poxy" flicks that aim for formula and fail at even that lowly goal, "Sexy Beast" is a ferocious alternative."   Lawrence Journal-World   Dan Lybarger 3.5/4 "Starts strong and keeps getting better."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth C "Discourages thinking..."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz A- "Delicious performances, amusing plot twists, and an enjoyable hearkening back to good old caper films."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "Isn't nearly as interesting as it thinks it is."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C+ "Feels like an elongated commercial -- pretty to look at, but contrived and vacuous."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "A suspenseful 90 minutes."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "has a brassy confidence that is enthralling"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "This is certainly a decent entry in the noir genre and a good calling card for Glazer."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "Formidable performances, a unique twist on an old tale, memorable scenes, but a little too slow at points, and not enough juice to entirely fill my palette"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "...a gangster film in which you’re never sure if you should laugh or duck."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio ""Sexy Beast" won't be for everyone, especially people who believe that taking a risk means adding an extra dash of salt to your meat."   Light Views   John Larsen "A showcase for two terrific performances from Winstone and Kingsley."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2.5 "No one can make a mean bunny with a gun on horseback look deep, cool, or heavy. No one."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B+ ""Sexy Beast" falls somewhere between the best of the genre - "The Long Good Friday," for example, and the stylish hijinks of Guy Ritchie's "Snatch.""   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "This darkly comic UK crime thriller has far more style than substance -- but what style!"   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Its central theme of the lure and danger of the criminal life and a villain so perfect at personifying that theme are the propelling force of the film."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 3/4 "Whenever [Ben] Kingsley shares the screen with Ray Winstone, director Jonathan Glazer's film is no less than electrifying. "   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4.5/5 "If Kingsley does not win an Oscar for this role, there is no justice in the world."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "When it's over, you'll thank your lucky stars that you don't know anyone as thoroughly demented as Don Logan."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "This slight-seeming but trim and absorbing British import deepens in your head the more you chew it over later."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B+ "Unlike his protagonist, [director Jonathan] Glazer understands that you have to keep moving or die. Sexy Beast keeps moving with a vengeance"   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 2/4 "If any of the characters was the least bit appealing, I might have had more patience waiting for something to happen."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "[Kingsley's] brilliant performance becomes the dark soul of this noirish drama."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "Glazer provides hope that filmmakers eventually will step out from Tarantino's shadow, but they have to bring something new to the table."   Citysearch   Sean O'Connell 5/10 ""Despite superb performances, there's less to this stylish but grim, brutal, tawdry British thriller than meets the eye.""   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "Ben Kingsley goes way over the top in a departure from his traditionally more subdued roles."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 3.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 4/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
