Gary (Ray Winstone) is a former gangster who has made a modest amount of money from his criminal career. Happy to put his life of crime behind him, he has retired with his wife Deedee (Amanda Redman) to the sunny bliss of rural Spain, where he lives an idyllic life with his family and a few close friends. But Gary's contentment is ruptured by an unwelcome visitor from his past -- Don (Ben Kingsley), a former associate who has been hired to assemble a team of criminals to rob a heavily guarded bank. Don wants Gary in on the job, and is less than pleased by Gary's unwillingness to volunteer his services. What ensues is a battle of wills between the two men, with Don intimidating, prodding, and manipulating his onetime friend to get what he wants, forever changing the lives of those around him in the process. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

Ben Kingsley becomes a raving, mad-dog gangster in the dramatic comedy Sexy Beast. Sporting a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Fox has done a very good job at making sure this picture looks very clean and clear of any major defects or imperfections. The colors are all bright with the black levels appearing solid and evenly saturated. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 in English as well as Dolby 2.0 Surround in English. The Dolby 5.1 soundtrack is very enveloping with many instances of surround sounds used throughout the film. All aspects of the dialogue, effects, and music are clear of any excessive distortion or hiss. Also included on this disc are subtitles in English and Spanish. =Sexy Beast features a small but substantial array of extra materials, starting with a commentary track by actor Ben Kingsley and producer Jeremy Thomas. This is a very insightful commentary with lots of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and details. Also included on this disc is a short "making-of" featurette that includes a few clips from the film and interviews with the cast and crew, as well as a few theatrical trailers and a TV spot for Sexy Beast. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
