The TVI Take
Jonathan Glazer's 2000 directorial debut anchored by Ben Kingsley's Oscar-nominated performance as a manipulative London gangster forcing a retired safecracker (Ray Winstone) back into one last job. The structural commitment to letting Kingsley's verbal-aggressive psychological-warfare cognition be the actual subject is canonical Glazer first-feature work.
