Kingsley is so singularly memorable, he becomes a perpetual afterthought and for the film, it resonates his infamy both with him on and off…

Thrilling from start to finish, Sexy Beast showcases all of the visual magic and tricky camerawork Glazer has honed in later works and features…

By Brett C (553) on 22 Jul 2014

Under the Skin director Jonathon Glazer's British gangster drama is dramatic, but it also works as a comedic piece thanks largely to a bravura…
