Variety
"Sexy Beast is an often enjoyable, massively uneven Brit ganglander with an almost surreal approach to the genre. Strongly cast, with a jaw-dropping perf by Ben Kingsley as a foul-mouthed Cockney gangster..."

Empire Online
Ben Kingsley... finally lays Gandhi to rest with a turn so Tarantinoesque, you will believe that Ray Winstone is shit-scared of him.

Slashfilm
It's testament to Ben Kingsley's remarkable work that he's able to convince you of this fact within seconds of his first appearance. He's a beast.

BBC Films
Kingsley's performance is wonderfully over the top, turning a hard-nosed caper thriller into an intense black comedy, and has the effect of making Winstone, so often cast as a heavy, seem positively cuddlesome and sympathetic.

Common Sense Media
"Language is relentless and includes 'bloody hell,' 'f--king,' 'f--k,' 's--thole,' 'c--t,' 'arse,' 'pr--k,' 'piss,' 's--t,' and 'twat.' Also the British swear words 'wanking' and 'wanker.' Female character objectified, referred to as a 'cow.' 'Gay brigade' used as a homophobic slur."

Rotten Tomatoes
Kingsley's Don Logan is one of cinema's all-time fearsome, loathsome villains - stalking even the frames from which he's absent.
