Sexy Beast

So we have Gary, he’s a retired gangster who is living happily in Spain with his wife, and his good friend and his wife. Then, Don, an old associate, comes looking for Gary to bring him back to London to do a job…a good part of the movie is Don trying to convince Gary to come back, to which he continues to decline, repetitively stating that he’s retired.
Right now, I need to say, that Ben Kingsley doing Don Logan was fantastic! His character was so vile, unpleasant, manipulative, and violent…it was really good.
Unfortunately he gets out of hand trying to convince Gary to come back to London that he throws a punch and ends up getting himself shot…dead. :P Dernn…
The plot wasn’t anything special…actually, it was really really simple. Usually when I say ‘not anything special’ it means its good…im a tough critic, I know, but this was really flat. No twists whatsoever. That was a little bit of a downfall for me, but it actually wasn’t that bad at the time, so, whatever it did, it worked…so, I’m not holding it against em.
I was actually a little bit surprised by the lack of violence in the movie. Sure, you see a few people get shot just straight on…one in the head…one in the stomach…but a lot less than I expected when I heard ‘retired gangster film’.
One more thing…my favourite scene in the movie. Don Logan is smoking on a plane…the flight attendant tells him to put out his cigarette…to which he declines. He gets super riled up :P Ends up leaving the plane, and ends up in shit with airport security…where he decides he has the perfect way of getting out of this situation…
He tells security that he was sexually assaulted by a male flight attendant and was smoking unknowingly to calm his nerves :P
I honestly found this scene quite funny…
And I pulled one of those moments where I laugh and turn to the person beside me only to discover I was watching it by myself…depressing yes I know haha…
Anyway, this one needs to be quick…I only have the house to myself for a little bit longer, so I need to get downstairs.
It was entertainment…it kept me occupied for a couple hours…it wasn’t terrible….
