Sexy Beast

Village Voice by Amy Taubin

There are long stretches in Sexy Beast that are so exhilarating it feels churlish to dwell on its flaws.

Salon by Andrew O'Hehir

An extraordinary and original creation. It belongs alongside "Amores Perros" and "Memento" on a shortlist of 2001's most exciting revelations.

Miami Herald by Curtis Morgan

It is a riveting and memorable performance and Kingsley finds subtlety in Logan where there doesn't seem to be any.

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

He's (Kingsley) pure violence, a sociopath who radiates menace even while sitting perfectly still mouthing pleasantries.

Variety by Derek Elley

Often enjoyable, massively uneven Brit ganglander with an almost surreal approach to the genre.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan

Glazer has a daring sense of story structure that ratchets up the suspense, and his sense for sardonic black comedy is unerring.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard

Noir has never been this bright.

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

Drove violence to the point of redundancy.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

The main event is the Mamet-esque battle of foul words between vintage hard-case Ray Winstone and the seething sociopath played by Ben Kingsley.

Baltimore Sun by Michael Sragow

Kingsley gives the movie a jolt and blows the rest of it to pieces.
