"Dad is intrigued by new opportunities so the three of us started to make this happen."įargo native Nick Fink (right) stars in "The Great and the Small" with Ritchie Coster (left). "My mom and dad are the biggest movie buffs in the world," Fink says. "I just thought 'I want to do a movie with him.' He's just such a great actor." Bias reached out to Fink's father Mitch, with whom he was better acquainted, and the wheels started turning. Bias says he took notice of Fink when he saw him in the student film "OstrichLand." "I was really impressed," Bias says. He went on to shoot "Prairie Love" in North Dakota in 2009 for which he won a Sundance Film Festival award. He hired an agent and started building a respectable resume with appearances in student and independent films and later roles in television shows including "Glee" and MTV's "Sweet Vicious."

Don is the type of man you just donât say ânoâ to, but the pull of Galâs idyllic retirement is so powerful that he does just that, a narrative swerve that spins this film off the well-worn (but still enjoyable) track we expected it to follow. But now thereâs a spanner in the works: an unhinged old acquaintance, Don Logan (Ben Kingsley, never better), has unexpectedly rocked up at Gal's hacienda to enlist him for a big job on behalf of the London underworldâs top brass. In his debut feature, Jonathan Glazer masterfully subverts our expectations of heist movies to thrilling effect: what should be a perfunctory moment â the classic recruitment scene â is stretched out into nearly an entire film of its own here, and weâre not off the edge of our seat for even a second of it.Īll retired Cockney gangster Gal (Ray Winstone) wants to do is lounge around the pool of his Spanish villa with beloved wife Deedee (Amanda Redman).
