Film - Sexy Beast
Another good British gangster film which I am glad I watched. Although it appears to be a made for tv movie it has a great cast of actors including Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley & a small role for Ian McShane (better know in the US for staring in the HBO show Deadwood). Has one of the most unusal heist scenes I have seen in a movie.
Plot
----
Gal, Deedee, Aitch and Jackie, having left behind respective lives of ill-repute, bask in the sun of Spain and in the most essential brand of leisure. A hazy yarn of barbecues, beer and botched hunting expeditions make up their retirements, until a sudden and unforeseen disruption emerges from their past. Enter the childishly violent and hilariously edgy Don Logan. Through a series of side-splitting negotiations and irrevocable acts, retired crook Gal is forced to shake off the rust and accept one last mission, put forth by the menacing Logan, his ex-mentor. A heist of legendary proportion and personal implications, this job should make for one hell of an encore.
