Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: I love independent cinema, but sometimes I don't understand certain accolades. For instance, why in the world was Blair Witch so lauded? That was also the case with Sexy Beast, which I wanted to love but later just wanted to get through. A lot of people spoke well of Ben Kingsley's intense performance and it was intense, but that doesn't make up for lack of plot or story.Ok, now that all the Sexy Beast partisans hate me, I will say that the cinematography was top notch and the commentary track was worthwhile. There were great moments of tension in the movie between Kingsley and anyone, and later between the mob boss and our hero, Ray Winstone. I just wish all that tension was building up for something more than the decided payoff.
Is the review positive or negative?
