Film - Sexy Beast
 

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.

One of my favorites.

If you like British gangster films, take a look at Gangster No.1.

hard to believe this is the guy that played Ghandi.

more british gangster movies to watch:-

Lock Stock
Snatch
Layer Cake
The Long Good Friday
The Business

And if you like caper movies, try

Dollars (AKA $) a now forgotten little gem by Richard Brooks with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn
Quick Change with Bill Murray
The Hot Rock
and the grandaddy of them all, the 1960 Ocean's 11 with an all-star cast but, unfortunately, WAY too much exposition for contemporary audiences who understand the gizmos and techniques the first time now.

Oh yeah, and RocknRolla.
