Thieves on the verge of a nervous breakdown, by Nick James<br />
Primarily an interview with the director of SEXY BEAST, Jonathan Glazer, Nick James notes<br />
that while Glazer has the same commercials/music video background of other contemporary<br />
<strong>British</strong> directors (notably Guy Ritchie), SEXY BEAST is a much better film than most of the<br />
recent <strong>British</strong> gangster movies. The interview with Glazer focuses on the making of the film<br />
and in particular Ben Kingsley’s characterisation of Don Logan.<br />

always surprising late entry in the Brit-crime cycle”. Romney ends his article by hoping that<br />
SEXY BEAST will be the “last-word on the geezer gangster flick”.<br />
