  • Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2006
    I found this film late one night and was mesmerized by it. I have watched this several times finding new things about it each time. Ben Kingsley's performance is riveting, and, as someone said earlier, is so different from the parts he usually plays. His performance as the rage filled mobster, Don with his obsession with getting the retired mobster, "Gal" to do "one more job" and the things he does and says to "persuade" him are like a series of hammer blows.

    The other surprising performance, at least to me, is that of Ian McShane as mob boss, Teddie Bass, the Prince of Darkness. After seeing McShane's Teddy in action, I wouldn't have wanted to go back to London and tell him "Gal" said "no" either. I have been familiar with McShane's work for the past forty years. He has always been a very capable actor delivering good performances consistently However, he always played light comedic roles. I was very surprised when he was chosen to play another Prince of Darkness, Swearningen in HBO's "Deadwood. I wonder if it might have been this performance as Teddie which caused him to be chosen for the Deadwood role.

    Ray Winstone gives his usual excellent performance as the retired safe cracker, afraid of the damage Don can do to his family and friends if he refuses to join the "job" but not wanting to do the one more job which could land him in prison long enough for it to be a life sentence.

    The story is intriguing; the performances are amazing. This is a must see movie for all noir mystery fans.

    I saw the bunny character as the Devil, and Don in Hell, mean enough to give even Satan a run for his money. Maybe that is really who the bunny character in "Donny Darko" is also.

    I ordered this movie based on a friend's recommendation when I said I enjoyed another excellent UK crime thriller, Layer Cake. By comparison, Sexy Beast is a very different film from Layer Cake. It feels perfectly European (not American) in terms of its careful, methodical pacing and gradually building tension. I never knew what would happen next in this film, and I loved that. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Also, the beautiful scenery at the villa on the Spanish coast was a treat for the eyes (and makes me want to retire to the Costa del Sol just like the lead character).

    Your jaw will be on the floor upon viewing this facet of Ben Kingsley's acting. I had not known he was capable of this. A friend suggested this to me, claiming that I would find his performance haunting, and he was right.

    One thing that I felt was an unfortunate bit of misdirection on the director's part was the whole boulder thing at the beginning. I had assumed that there were someone stalking the man's residence, as payback for something in the past, and that the Spanish kid was somehow complicit. Did you get that feeling?

    What I should have been focusing on was Kingsley! BTW, he supposedly based this role on his grandmother, whom he has said was "an extremely unpleasant woman.")

    His performance was so incredible, so disturbing, it could have carried the movie by itself. All that business with the rabbit-headed man was a waste of screen time. From the minute Logan appears on the screen, you want to know more and more about him, and press deeper and deeper into how he became the way he is and where he wants to go in life.

    Unfortunately, the director didn't give us much of that. Just some rabbit-headed dude running around and a red-herring boulder in the pool. What a waste.

    Darkly funny, quirky and violent, this movie isn't for everyone. Ben Kingsley is genuinely scary as the psychotic Don Logan, and the always-subtle Ian McShane is chilling. But it's also a love story- Gal's love for Deedee anchors the story, and you can feel his desperation when he realizes how easily it can be taken away from him. Worth watching if you're looking for a different sort of story.

    Is Ben Kingsley the world's greatest actor? Watch this film & hold your breath. I will take his performance with me to the grave.

    I have a question. Why is "Pascali's Island," not formatted for American dvds? This amazing Kingley film is a goldmine.
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014
    I purchased this DVD after hearing a glowing review on TV. I should have known what to expect- the reviewer spoke endlessly about the great performance given by Ben Kingsley. But haven't we come to rely upon Kingsley for a great performance?

    What is missing here is any sort of a story worth committing to film. Okay, Sir Ben can play a scary man - yes. But, (spoiler alert) a criminal retires to Spain only to have an old accomplice arrive (Kingsley) to insist the retiree join in a caper - retiree doesn't want to - but of course does. Kingsley's character bullies four adults in secluded spot - things do not go well. Violence ensues. Ho hum.

    Better to watch him in a film worth your time. 3 stars because, yes, Ben Kingsley can act. But he cannot salvage this thin scrap of a story.
