This film is class and the acting top notch. However....have a look at the scenes in the kitchen....the mic is either is shot or its shadow is cast over Ray winstones face..... it's still a 10/10 film....and these errors just reinforce how small the budget and tight the schedule was.... I'm sure they'd have takes without these errors and opted for these ages based on how good the performances where. Ben kingselys part in this has now become the template that others try to copy.

If you think this film is underrated you should check out "Gangster No.1", which came out around the same time and for my money sits alongside Sexy Beast as the best UK crime film ever made. The protagonist is a complete psychopath like Kingsley here, but perhaps even scarier because he's more deranged.

Kingsley said in interview that Sexy Beast was only film he ever made where not a single word of script dialogue was changed during filming. Brilliant writing.

There’s almost a pleading desperation in his laugh. His joke at Gal’s expense hides a genuine yearning for Gal to return. Idk whether it’s romantic or fraternal, but Logan has a genuine affection for Gal and is scared of his running away again, so he couches his request in intimidation and insults

The utter balls of casting Sir Ben as a heavy intimidating Ray Winstone was a masterstroke. Remember reading about this film before it came out and thinking they'd got the casting mixed up.

Ray has to be one of the all time greats. I love his work. Sexy Beast Is the greatest films Iv watched. Ray can bring a kind of vulnerability, transparency, and insight to his character that people generally do not show in our daily lives yet they do it in a way that doesn’t interrupt the believability of the performance. That’s a hard thing to articulate. Every moment, every gesture, every syllable spoken by this character is endlessly watchable, over and over. Ray & Ben deliver their lines with precision in this scene, well timed and beautifully inflected. But they also listen to everything that's being said and calculate their reactions accordingly.

that slight change in his expression at 0:46-0:47, immense

one of the best movies since 2000

I saw this again on DVD recently and it is still a fantastic film. It is surely underrated and is ripe for rediscovery.

"No you just have to turn this opportunity yes" Don would make a good motivational speaker or personal trainer.

For me this is the greatest performance ever! The fact he’s a true thespian and the least intimidating human on Earth, yet Don Logan is maybe the scariest human ever to live! Incredible…

One of the most quotable films ever. I know it word for word. Stunning. Kingsley at his best, and stellar performances from everyone

Me also and sooon to be again 9n afew hours. Kingsley is the king Midas of film wirld. 📼👑👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎥

Just watching this film again for about the 10th time. I get something new every time. It's defo in my top 10 with Shawshank.

Kingsly, Winstone & McShane - that's a no-fail recipe for a magnificent film!

Don Logan is the best most realistic scary baddie of any gangster movie in my opinion (in fact probably any genre). Better than Scarface, better than anyone in Godfather, better than BrickTop, better than Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. The laugh at 0:18 is brilliant and the fact the same guy played Gandhi is incredible.

An incredible piece of acting, it would of been very easy to over act in this role, but Kingsley plays it so well

For me this gets better every time I watch it. Classic.

You can watch this film again and again and the unease never lessens. Exceptional writing and acting by everyone involved.

Reminds me of a time when films were amazing. Acting was an art and taken seriously

Ben Kingsley is sheer quality from start to finish!!

It's long been my no.1 movie. A work of absolute genius in every possible respect.

When I first watched this back in the day when they're in the restaurant I thought.. ok this Don bloke is coming over and Ray Winstone will bash him up with a couple of pool balls in a sock or something and that'll be that.. Don is definitely one of the best nut case villains ever, I don't even think Gary Oldman could get near Ben Kingsley on this part..

The brilliance of this movie is you think Don is evil only to find later that Teddy Bas is another level Evil beyond all expectations, Teddy is pure bad. Phenomenal writing, directing, casting and acting just fantastic

I love the ending when Don is even indifferent to Hell.

I also got to watch this in Cinema. Honestly, the burning sun flying rock in the opening already made the movie a masterpiece.

I saw this when it came out (on VHS) and I couldn't get into it. Now I watch it and it looks like a masterpiece at every turn. I honestly think it was just too ahead of it's time

I always wanted a spin off movie after seeing this gem, just called 'Don Logan'. A prequel of sorts. I just wanted to see more of Kingsley's character up on screen I suppose.

When Ray Winstone is the second most scary man in a scene you know that this film is something special and that Ben Kingsley is a man not to be trifled with

I have watched this film umpteen times....it gets better every time.

A great film with Oscar winning performances from both guys. Brilliantly written and directed.

I met Ben Kingsley in the street a few years ago. Such a nice guy, we had a little chat about he's films and sexy beast come up as one of my favourites.

To go from Ghandi to NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and do them both so bloody brilliantly is incredible 👍 such a shame that with legends like this as examples we are living in the age of mediocrity 😩

He even does both together in YTP.

Watched this films so many times. Never get tired of watching it. It’s so scary. Brilliant acting.

Glazer doesn’t make many films but they all are amazingly shot.

I like how he says 'this friday' he makes it sound like he's asking him to pick someone up from the hairdressers.

"I'm not exactly match fit" Winstone was a good stooge for the Psychopathic Kingsley

Omg I forgot about this amazing film!!!!! Can’t wait to rewatch this it’s been decades

Wow I have been looking for this movie since seeing it on TV in early 2000s! OMG!

And to think this guy played Gandhi. What a versatile actor. Brilliant!
