Sexy Beast (2000)

CHANNEL 4, 12.10AM ★★★★

Ben Kingsley is at his scariest in this tense and enthralling thriller as the gangster thug who wants to rob a well-guarded bank, and flies out to Spain to drag his retired associate Gary (a lobster-tanned Ray Winstone) back to work. But Gary is living a contented life with his wife (Amanda Redman) and has no intention of going back to his criminal life, forcing the two men into a battle of wills that ends in violence.
