Jonathan Glazer’s Sexy Beast is a madcap mix of genres: a comedy and a drama, a caper film and a love story. Though it hits the mark with all of them on occasion, the sum of its efforts isn’t quite as effective as it might have been. More trenchant writing (especially in the caper part of the story) might have made the film a great deal more fun. Now, it’s a funny and disturbing movie with some scattered thrills to keep it interesting.
