Movie description
|
With THE LIMEY,
director Steven Soderbergh has crafted a stylish revenge thriller
that also contains a refreshing sense of humor. Wilson (Terence
Stamp), a tough English ex-con, travels to Los Angeles to avenge
his daughter's death, which he is convinced was not accidental.
After meeting Ed (Luis Guzmán), a friend of his
daughter’s who sent him a letter informing him of her
passing, he finds out about her affair with Terry Valentine (Peter
Fonda), a drug-dealing, money-laundering record producer, and
begins to hunt him down. Partnered with Ed as well as Elaine
(Lesley Ann Warren), his daughter’s former voice coach,
Wilson encounters a near-fatal beating, is thrown from a building
window, survives a dangerous car chase, and battles an army of
L.A.'s toughest criminals. Soderbergh's follow-up to the critically
beloved OUT OF SIGHT finds him in similar neo-noir waters, but this
time he utilizes atypical editing and narrative technique for the
film’s entirety. In a striking move, he ingeniously
incorporates footage of Stamp as a young man in Ken Loach's 1967
film POOR COW for truly realistic flashbacks. As the fuming
Wilson--a hell-bent, white-haired avenging angel--Stamp proves,
once again, to be a truly magnetic screen presence.

Notes
|
Theatrical
release: October 8, 1999.
The footage of young Terence Stamp is taken from
Ken Loach's 1967 film POOR COW. Director Steven Soderbergh said
that had he not gotten the rights to the film, he probably wouldn't
have made THE LIMEY.
Luis Guzmán also appeared in Soderbergh's
TRAFFIC and OUT OF SIGHT.
Steven Soderbergh told USA Today in January 2001,
"I didn't ever want to make a movie with this kind of fractured
narrative again. It was driving me insane."
In one scene Peter Fonda is watching George
Clooney on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD; Clooney starred in Soderbergh's
previous film, OUT OF SIGHT.
Entertainment Weekly named THE LIMEY the
fifth-best video of 2000.
