bust Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Went right off the guy after he made that terrible film where he played some gangster retired to the Greek Isles or somewhere. What a shocker. Loved him in Alice in Wonderland as Major Caterpillar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Went right off the guy after he made that terrible film where he played some gangster retired to the Greek Isles or somewhere. What a shocker.... Are you thinking of "Sexy Beast"? I thought it was excellent. Amazon.com A retired British gangster (Ray Winstone) is trying to keep out of a London heist, despite the efforts of Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a goateed, shaved-headed pit bull of a gangster in this raw, startling film that grabs your attention and never lets go. Gary "Gal" Dove lounges at his villa on Costa del Sol, with not a care in the world, until his Mediterranean paradise is interrupted by Logan, just arrived to recruit Gal for a London heist led by mob boss Teddy Bass (Ian McShane). Gal refuses the job; Logan won't hear it. He's human nitroglycerine, ready to explode at the slightest provocation, spewing Cockney profanities like armor-piercing bullets. Sexy Beast presents him as hilarious and horrifying, a soloist whose instrument is pure, bilious rage. Kingsley's volatile performance--the polar opposite of his Oscar®-winning role in Gandhi--expands the actor's range into startlingly unexpected territory. It's the white-hot center of Sexy Beast, but the feature debut of director Jonathan Glazer (after acclaimed TV commercials and music videos) is equally noteworthy for the performance of the lesser-known Winstone, and also for Glazer's brass-knuckle approach to what is, essentially, a conventional gangland thriller. Glazer's instincts aren't always sound (dream sequences involving a hideous man-rabbit prove a bit too peculiar), but with pugilistic rhythm and a humorous knack for combining well-chosen songs and a rough, kinetic visual style, Sexy Beast is a wild ride. -- Jeff Shannon.

bust Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yep that's the one. Found it pretty awful. So it was Costa del Sol. Nice part of the world. Spent some time down there many years ago. Torra Molinos? That sound right? Had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
