Audience Member Terence Stamp is The Limey Here he co-stars with Luis Guzman, Lesley Ann Warren, Melissa George, and the late Peter Fonda and directed by Peter Soderberg An English career criminal Wilson who gets out of a 9 year prison sentence He’s on his way to the United States to investigate the supposed death of his only daughter, Jenny He starts to get in deeper than expected particularly with main suspect Terry Valentine The film is very trippy in its filmmaking style and the editing jumps around a lot, and other scenarios play out This is more of a slow pot boiler reminiscent of the 1970s thrillers of old The big shootout doesn’t happen until the last half and the final confrontation Stamp gives a commanding performance as per usual in this neo noir piece steeped more in sorrow or regret It’s a farewell to the nimble spirit despite an underdeveloped story Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Logan D An ex-con Englishman travels to LA to investigate the death of his estranged daughter, whom he thinks was actually murdered. Terence Stamps as cool and moody as only he can be. The script is undercooked but Soderbergh steers his ship with an even hand, maintaining the tension throughout. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Georgan G Not just another crime thriller. This plot has depth as we watch a career criminal rethink his relationships. Terence Stamp's performance is outstanding. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Matt B Some of the most ridiculous overuse of cockney I've ever heard. NO ONE speaks that way. Must have been painful for the guy, as he is actually from the East end of London and would know. Pretty poor plot. Just meh. Hysterical having the one actress either in a bath or in a pool for 90% of her scenes. Hygiene! In sure that was it. Like a PSA about the importance of hygiene! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review John H Interesting story that is much more about the father and daughter than murder drugs and sex. Much better than I expected especially the ending. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review helder f A movie about an ex convict, Wilson, who flies from London to LA to revenge his daughter's death. The movie is surprisingly better than expected from watching the first scenes. Wilson's affect is strange and at a robotic, and the movie moves with a slight back and forth timeline. Nonetheless, the movie doesn't miss a beat. If anything the end feels a bit rushed, we almost feel like watching it again right after. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
