很好看的标准英范儿电影~~~
每一段对话都相当的给劲~~~
开篇从天而降的石头拍的就相当有水准~~~
幕后花絮说，唐就是要演一枚战斧式巡航导弹，稳准狠，直接，威力大……
他还没有出场，已然把这四个不是善茬的人吓得不轻~~~
更厉害的那个黑帮大佬，走在街上你都不会看他第二眼的大金牙的范儿，可是翻脸无情心狠手辣果敢决断~~~就像一只野兽，随时给人致命一击~~~
从头到尾都在给男主角捏一把汗，觉得他断无幸免和生机……
赞啊~~~

黑帮头目参加一个酒会，被一个银行家鸡奸。借助这一关系，黑帮头目得以借机进入银行的保险库。窥探情况后，他手下的斯坦希金斯拉拢本金斯利，本金斯利联系Ray Winstone,大家一起抢银行。Ray Winstone,不想去，最后把本金斯利杀掉后，去参加了抢劫银行，最后收获大笔钱财后安全归来。
Ex-con and expert safe-cracker Gary "Gal" Dove has served his time behind bars and blissfully retired to a Spanish villa with his beloved wife Deedee. He also has the company of longtime friend Aitch and his wife Jackie. Their idyll is shattered, however, by the arrival of an old criminal associate, the sociopathic Don Logan, who is intent on enlisting Gal in a bank heist back in London.
Dove politely but firmly refuses Logan's many requests to join the heist, but Logan will not back down. After revealing a lingering infatuation with Jackie, he makes several unwelcome attempts at reconnecting with her. Logan eventually grows violent, hurling torrents of abuse at the group while at the same time spitefully painting himself as a victim of their infidelity. After finally storming away in a rage, Logan is kicked off his plane and returns to Dove's home with the intention of murdering him. Instead, Deedee surprises him with a shotgun. The entire group combines their efforts, first beating and shooting him, and finally crushing his skull.
With Logan dead, Dove is forced to return to London to perform the job as if nothing has happened. Teddy Bass, a powerful crime lord, has organised the heist after learning about the bank from Harry, a banker who had sex with him at an orgy. Dove feigns ignorance over Logan's whereabouts, but Bass is immediately suspicious. Dove now fears both getting arrested by the police and being murdered by Bass. Since Logan's arrival, Dove's anxiety has manifested in strange dreams where he is menaced by a humanoid rabbit, which echoes a disastrous hunting trip earlier in the film.
During the heist, Bass' gangsters use surface-supplied diving gear and drill into Harry's bank vault from a pool in a neighbouring bath house. The water from the pool floods the vault and shorts its security system. While helping to empty the vault's safe deposit boxes, Dove secretly pockets a pair of large ruby with diamond earrings. After the job is successfully completed, Bass forces Dove, who is unaware of Bass's intentions, to accompany him to kill Harry at Harry's house. Though Bass has realised the truth about Logan's murder, he does not care enough to retaliate by killing Dove. Instead, he forces Dove to forfeit his share of the loot and banishes him from London.
Dove returns safely home and his paradise is restored. Deedee wears the diamond earrings that he stole, and it is revealed that Logan is buried under the double-heart insignia at the bottom of their pool, which had been damaged by a falling boulder just prior to his arrival.

看完之后觉得很不错，跑去IMDB上看了眼评分：7.1。还可以嘛。

男主角虽然很胖，但是确实挺帅，有钱人钟情于自慰俱乐部的并不漂亮也不年轻的老婆，这点难能可贵。

他的好友老头也不错，并不在乎女友那点辛酸历史，该痛快解决情敌时，绝对只作致命那一击。

给同事讲，这是个大盗的故事。同事大致听了以后表示蔑视：我看过的最有技术含量的大盗片是……

的确，如果你把这个片子当成“动作片”看的话肯定会失望。你看男主角的身形就知道了。

我只是喜欢那四个成年人外加一个小孩子的可爱世界，这些在电影中才是花了很多笔墨去描绘的，包括打猎时的互相嘲笑、小孩子题有钱人的屁股、电话里的“我爱你，你知道的”……

我只是喜欢那些不太寻常的拍摄角度，你可以作为山坡上滚落下来的石头、被砸坏的游泳池底，被打开的车门去观察周遭的世界。

喋喋不休得让人发疯的反面人物被诠释得入木三分，看了IMDB上的花絮，据说这个角色的原型是某人的祖母。不过可以面不改色心不跳地撒谎解释自己在飞机上吸烟的原因（被性骚扰）也不是一般人能做的出来的。

总之是个蛮好看、蛮好玩的片子。至于为啥叫Sexy Beast，我也没搞清楚。

作为拍过blur、radiohead和nick cave与坏种儿的mv导演，jonathan glazer能把山石滚落、银行会面、水下打洞拍得云里雾里的，但却驾驭不了一个如此简单的故事。片子除了内几个镜头和演过甘地爷爷的伦敦恶棍几乎一无是处。

性贯穿了整个电影：开头随心所欲的冰鸡巴表现出主人公西班牙退休后的悠闲生活；大哥的抢劫主意来自一场滥交par认识的狗屁银行家；使甘地爷爷发怒并决心离开的是主人公说出了他对扣屁眼儿金发老妞儿的眷恋（也许是真的）；甘地爷爷逃离飞机吸烟制裁的谎话竟然是机组成员的性骚扰（演技亮点！）；使手淫女王发飙的直接原因自然是孙子把他爷们儿弄了又干了内西班牙小男孩儿，可不得不说老东西对她老底儿的无情揭露是让愤怒爆发的完美强心剂。

由此看来，sexy beast应该是出现在片子中的所有人，暴躁与荒唐，一帮荷尔蒙疯子。

不过始终不明白的是，主人公是如何向大哥解释的，老东西看来是大哥的得力手下，丫竟然能活下来？！

Let’s assume you are a casting director, there are two roles: one is Gal, a retired safe-cracker enjoying the life of Riley in a beatific villa in Spain with his wife and friends; and the other is his former criminal associate Don Logan, a browbeating, invective-pelting psychopath who wills to recruit him to a new job and will not take no for answer. Then you are given two candidates: Mr. Gandhi himself, Sir. Ben Kingsley and a bovver heavy Ray Winstone, the choice is rather self-evident.

However, that is not the case for UK scenester Jonathan Glazer when he begins to work on his feature film debut SEXY BEAST, who does the obverse, fingers Mr. Winstone for the hapless Gal and Mr. Kingsley for the rivetingly menacing Don Logan, a delectable volte-face rewardingly earns him an Oscar nomination, meantime, Winstone also magnificently brings about an incarnation very different from his usual image, a rough diamond type, graced by the lovey-dovey intimacy between him and his wife DeeDee Dove (Redman), an erstwhile porn star.

It is a taut iteration in the UK gangster genre, the story is nothing too sparkling, it is Glazer's swift and impressive execution takes the full credit. The harbinger arrives in its opening, a boulder falls right in into the swimming pool of Gal’s villa (which betrays a sloppy CGI burnished effort), while he is sunbathing under the blistering heat, this portends an impending threat which will disrupt the placidity and imperil those who cannot get away, Don Logan is coming to visit, and he will not be in a pleasant mood if he knows that Gal determines to decline his very generous offer. So sparks fly, but not without a droll war of (swearing) words and things will inevitably get physical, Kingsley’s intimidating presence deviously pays off the looming dread simply elicited by the mention of his name, and after an ironical turn of events, he does manage to press-gang Gal into partaking in the action however reluctant he is, to break into a bank vault via water pressure, The suspense isn’t swelling during the action, but after, when the head of the criminals, Teddy Bass (McShane, another great villain, less showier but infallibly lethal), a character turns out to be far more ruthless than Don Logan, bluffly tells Gal that “he knows what they did in Spain” and promises he will come to visit in the due future. Well, why there isn’t a sequel to this?

Parlaying his reputation as an eclectic music video director into this breakout debut, Glazer has concocted up a stunning-looking fare seeped with robust characterization, pulsating rhythm of montage, scintillating chromatic disposition and optimal pop taste, ultimately transmogrified it into a beguiling conglomerate ofromanticism, perversity absurdity and bloody gallows humor like an arch cautionary take:there is no easy way of going straight, so think twice before you get your feet wet!

ps. accompany pieces: Glazer’s UNDER THE SKIN (2013, 8.2/10); Guy Ritchie’s LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS (1998, 7.9/10), SNATCH (2000, 7.1/10).

强忍着看完这部片子，我只能说太难看了。
花费了太多的时间在描述一些莫名其妙的对话
还要强烈BS下这个电影的名字，简直害人不浅

第八届黑眼圈电影节在这个特殊的年景比较早的开幕了，第一观影日为我们带来的是英国导演乔纳森.•格雷泽的《性感野兽》。 片子一开始很有地中海风情的，非常适合我们这个在暑期开幕的非主流电影节的时间节点，作为开场小菜，就凭片头和开始一段基本完成了他作为开幕影片的作用。 开头儿的地中海风情再加上这个片名，我以为这片子要走热带风情性感大趴体的路线（这也是我们特别期待看到的）。不过后面情节显然也证明了黑眼圈电影节选片的调性注定不会那么可爱的乏味。感情这片子是一反高潮的非主流黑帮片，片名“性感野兽”断句儿不是你想当然的“性感的野兽”，而是“性感和野兽”，或者是“一点儿也不性感倒霉催的曾经的野兽”。 片子用大篇幅描写了搪瓷盆洗手的前江洋大盗怎么憋憋屈屈的又被拉下水的故事。黑帮传话人本•金斯利表演奔放，令人印象深刻。故事刻意把怎么被拉下水作为重点的安排也很有意思，紧张感制造的不错，让我想起了福尔摩斯探案集中的《四签名》。两个女演员风韵犹存，也是片中亮色。不过总体来讲要是推荐的话我更推荐格雷泽的另一个片子《重生》。 开胃小菜表现尚可，清凉爽口为后面的片子打打底也挺好。拍黄瓜怎么就不能当头盘儿上，毕竟人家可没搁芝麻酱，而是点了几滴芥末油儿给你端上来的……
