5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Best 6 Dec 2008

By G. R. Donaldson

Format:DVD

This is a brilliant British gangster film. Up there with Get Carter,The Long Good Friday et al. It works superbly on all levels. The cast including occasional ham Sir Ben Kingsley are outstanding. Even ex Lovejoy lothario Ian Macshane is pretty good as the metrosexual crime boss Teddy Bass.
Its the best use of a bank job themed film since the original Italian Job.Sexy Beast got a bit lost in the plethora of Brit Gangster flics but it is head and shoulders above them all.The disc has lots of interesting extras. The plot twists and turns,"like a twisty turny thing" and the denoument is sheer class. Buy this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars This film is like a beautiful poem, it is just amazing. 19 July 2001

By alexingham@yahoo.com

Format:DVD

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is another gangster film because it isn't, in fact it doesn't really fit into a genre at all. The main theme of the film is more of a love story between Gal (Ray Winstone) and Didi (Amanda Redman), which also has a very dark theme to it.

Ray Winstone is excellent as usual, but Ben Kingsley really steals the show as the Psychotic Don, a character from Gal's murky past which he is trying to escape from. Gal has retired to Spain and is living this idyllic life until Don appears like a bolt out of the blue with a job for Gal, and he will not take no for an answer.

Jonathan Glazer's directing is excellent and his use of the camera is impressive. He also get exceptional performances from the whole cast.

This is an excellent film which is simply a must buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, average video quality 22 Jun 2009

By Dion

Format:Blu-ray

To begin with, in 1,78:1 you see more of the picture, since the movie was filmed in 16:9 and then cropped to 2,35:1 for the cinematic and DVD releases. I do not know which aspect ratio was intended for being the "true" one, but on this Blu-ray, you see everything you saw on DVD - and more. You'll find a comparison of screenshots on the DVDBeaver-Website, so you can decide which one you like better.
On the other hand, this release has some serious technical drawbacks - a 1080i-picture on a BD-25 is not what I expect from a release of a movie that was shot only about ten years ago. Although the image quality is clearly superior to the DVD, there's much room for further visual improvement. The audio is also not lossless, which may be due to the fact that the movie takes about 18 GB of space on the single-layered disc.
There's nothing to say about the movie itself - in my opinion, it's one of the best crime-comedys of all times. So if you do not own this movie on DVD, you can buy this Blu-ray and enjoy it - or just wait for a re-release with a 1080p-picture.

Depicting an underground world which is sometimes uncomfortably close to the surface! Great acting and great pathos in its tragic comedy.

An old but excellent film, we laughed linked drains throughout and were some really good one liners. Saw it years ago on video and just as funny years later

Thoroughly enjoyed this film! Great stuff! However, the case was damaged on arrival which was rather disappointing. Package did come when expected though which was great.
