Orph, did you love Drive? Did you enjoy Only God Forgives? Did you like his other stuff? Will you check this one out in the theater?

Man, Sexy Beast is great.

No, you're right. I should try to temper my enthusiasm more. Not everything is "great" or "the worst."

Sexy Beast is a strong film from what I remember. It's been forever since I've seen it, though.

I've never been a fan. Talk about your flat visuals.

Yeah, I don't know man. A lot of those images have stuck with me all these years. Plus it had dynamic characters and great dialogue to make up for any lack of cinematography. Great performances.
