How To Watch Sexy Beast Online
Watch Sexy Beast: Preview
Long before director Jonathan Glazer made Oscars Best Picture nominated The Zone of Interest, he brought us Sexy Beast. And anybody who has seen the 2000 Britflick starring Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley is unlikely to forget it in a hurry. Now comes a small screen prequel series from streamer Paramount Plus and here we’ll explain how you can watch Sexy Beast no matter where you are in the world.
The new show goes back a decade or so before the movie when protagonist Gal Dove (James McArdle) is a small-time safe cracker with only dreams of retiring to that poolside sun lounger on the Costa del Sol. But to make the fantasy a reality, he has little option but to start taking on bigger and more daring heists sent his way by the likes of Stan Higgins (Paul Kaye) and emerging crime kingpin Teddy Bass (Stephen Moyer).
And hitting the jackpot only becomes more paramount when he becomes besotted with glamorous adult film star Deedee (Sarah Greene). Mixing crime and pleasure rarely pays, but a few lucrative hits could mean a life of comfort and luxury for Gal and his bride-to-be.
There’s just one obstacle… and it goes by the name of Don Logan. A ‘loyal dog’ he may be, but one with a bark and bite that are just as terrifying as each other.
Indeed, we suspect that many viewers will come solely to see how convincingly Emum Elliott is able to portray the formidable, despicable Don Logan who was played so memorably in the movie by Sir Ben Kingsley. The trailer certainly suggests that the actor who has appeared in the likes of Game of Thrones, The Paradise, Guilt and, most recently, The Gold, has a suitably psychotic glint in his eye.
