Terrence Stamp is truly a marvel to watch as the hard bastard main character of "The Limey". He stalks across the screen, barreling head-on into thugs, driven by a thirst for answers. His daughter didn't just fall asleep at the wheel. And someone had better start talking.
The low-key tone of Soderbergh's stylish and hard-nosed crime thriller doesn't deter it from resonating with its powerful use of imagery, flashbacks and non-linear narrative. The cast is great from top to bottom; Peter Fonda, Lesley Ann Warren, Barry Newman and (most surprisingly) Luis Guzman.
And there's a lingering sadness that remains long after the movie's over. We can credit Stamp for that, through his melancholy and impressive acting job.
7/10
