The Toronto International Film Festival

 The Limey

Starring: Terence Stamp, Lesley Ann Warren, Luis Guzman, Barry Newman, Peter Fonda. Directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Trixie: 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.
