Sexy Beast (2000)
You can sense Jonathan Glazer has a background in music videos, because there is a certain rhythm to this movie. Clever use of fast editing and time jumps that doesn’t break the flow of the narrative. While Ben Kingsley is remarkable as the very aggressive gangster and his impact on everyone around him is felt, I still think the movie relied too much on him. He is supposed to be over the top, but it also got a bit tiresome. Decently entertaining with a unique cast of characters, but it didn’t do a whole lot for me.
