Sexy Beast
Stylish, tough-as-nails British gangster yarn features an acclaimed turn by Ben Kingsley as a short-fused London criminal sent to strong-arm retired safecracker Ray Winstone, who's now living in Spain with his former porn star wife, into taking part in a safety deposit firm heist. Winstone finally relents to Kingsley's demands, which send him back to London and face to face with danger he thought was in his past. Ian McShane, Amanda Redman and James Fox also star.
