REVIEW: SEXY BEAST

Ex-London thug Gal Dove (Ray Winstone) is enjoying a blissful retirement in the south of Spain. Good friends, good food and good sun. All is bueno until a former underworld associate, brilliantly played by a menacing Ben Kingsley, comes calling. Trying to lure our hero away from his pool to join his old mates in a "can't miss" job, Kingsley makes an offer Winstone can't refuse. Problem is, he does just that. Slick-if not original-and yes, sexy, this movie gives the often-tired crime genre a sweet shot of humor. Scott Lyle Cohen
