Ex-villain Gal Dove (Ray Winstone) has served his time behind bars and is blissfully retired to a Spanish villa paradise with a wife he adores. The sun drenched idyll is shattered by the arrival of his psychotic, gangster nemesis Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), who is intent on persuading Gal to return to London for one last big job. Desperate not to sacrifice his comfortable existence, Dove is drawn into an explosive battle of wills with Logan, and ultimately, takes part in a sensational underwater heist, risking everything to protect the woman he loves. Loaded with visual style, Sexy Beast is set on the Spanish Costa del Sol and in London. This genre bending romance marks the directorial film debut of Jonathan Glazer, the multi-award winning commercial and music video director.
