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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Drove violence to the point of redundancy.
