Synopsis
Sexy Beast (2001) is a British crime thriller directed by Jonathan Glazer — watch it online on iFILM. Ex-safecracker Gal Dove, played by Ray Winstone, has traded London crime for a sun-bleached Spanish villa: pool, quiet days, the wife he loves. Retirement looks permanent. It isn't.
Don Logan arrives unannounced. Shaved head, relentless grin, the word "no" not in his vocabulary. Ben Kingsley earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this role, and every minute he's on screen you understand why — Logan doesn't persuade, he suffocates. The London underworld needs Gal for one last bank vault job, and refusal isn't an option Logan recognises. Ian McShane and James Fox round out a cast that keeps the tension coiled well past the halfway point.
Jonathan Glazer's feature debut announced a director who works in controlled unease — the same instinct he later brought to Under the Skin and The Zone of Interest. Stream Sexy Beast (2001) in full online on iFILM.
