The Limey

From the 1999 Toronto International FIlm Festival
Starring: Terence Stamp, Lesley Ann Warren, Luis Guzman, Barry Newman, Peter Fonda. Directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Sheila had some work to attend to, so I was off to the theater on my own for this one. I had heard a lot of good buzz about "The Limey", but I guess I just didn't get it.

The story is about a father (Wilson) who flies to Los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death. Once there he plays the hero and starts shooting bad guys. Not a very original storyline.

One interesting aspect of the film was how they'd taken old film footage of Terence Stamp and incorporated it in flashback scenes of Wilson as a younger man. But that in itself is not worth seeing the movie. Unless of course you happen to be a huge Terence Stamp fan.
(Trixie, Sept. 1999)
