Samuel Love“Do the job.” Jonathan Glazer’s Sexy Beast is one of, if not the, best British gangster films ever made: darkly funny and relentlessly tense in equal measure. Sir Ben Kingsley gives a career-best performance as Don Logan, while the screenplay is among the most quotable in crime cinema, packed with dialogue that is hilarious, abrasive and instantly memorable. Brutal, absurd and genuinely frightening at times, Sexy Beast remains a landmark of British crime cinema and now makes its worldwide 4K UHD debut from Second Sight Films in a typically lavish Limited Edition set that boasts the film on 4K and Blu-ray, a hardback 160-page book, and 7 art cards.
Synopsis
