Reviews for Sexy Beast
Glazer has struck just the right balance between the believable and the absurd, and has avoided the stylistic excesses of many others who have made the transition from television commercials to feature films.

Like an unwelcome guest from way back when, it smarts, and shocks, and just for a moment blows your mind.

Glazer's direction is lively and packed with surprises.

Its mix of surrealism, coolly chic visuals, and juicy acting leapfrogs it ahead of most of the competition.

I didn't know Kingsley had such notes inside him. Obviously, he can play anyone.

Winstone e (especialmente) Kingsley carregam o filme com suas atuações magnéticas, enquanto Glazer confere charme à narrativa com sua abordagem bem-humorada. Infelizmente, o terceiro ato não sobrevive à ausência do personagem mais interessante do projeto.

No one can make a mean bunny with a gun on horseback look deep, cool, or heavy. No one.

Glazer provides hope that filmmakers eventually will step out from Tarantino's shadow, but they have to bring something new to the table.
