Review of The Limey

The Limey (1999)
7/10
Slightly hectic - especially when considering the name of the director
20 December 2012
Well, the composition/editing is peculiar: narrative structure of the movie is presented in disjointed flashbacks by the main character Wilson during his plane trip home to England, and there are frequent dialog and background sound from previous or future scenes juxtaposed with a current scene. Luckily, all this is not too confusing and provides the movie with extra value and distinction. Terence Stamp as Wilson and Luis Guzmán as Eduardo Roel are catchy, but the total cast is not evenly strong (as in Ocean-series or Out of Sight, for example). And the beginning of the movie is more promising, then it becomes an rather ordinary crime movie with an ordinary and predictable ending.

However, it is still better than many similar movies and its duration is 1 hour 20 minutes only. Find the time and see!
