‘A guns-and-gangsters Britflick chimera, as gorgeous and heartsick as it is grotesquely violent’ The Independent
‘A crime film like no other, Sexy Beast is composed of moments of startling audacity, visual and dramatic, that arrive in waves, just long enough for you to catch your breath before the next’ ★★★★★ The Times
