SEXY BEAST (2000)

Gal (Ray Winstone) has retired to the Spanish Riviera in order to enjoy the sun, good food, wine, and his beloved wife.  However, this idyllic existence turns into turmoil when Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) shows up and tries to convince Gal to go back to London and do a job for him.  Gal kindly declines the offer, which Don does not accept.  Don becomes more threatening in his way of persuading Gal to join him in the job, however, Gal keeps insisting that he is no good and that he is not interested in the job.  This is something that Don finds hard to accept.  The Sexy Beast provides an interesting antagonist that drives the storyline and the film provides an fascinating event.
