Customer Reviews of The Limey [Region 2]
A celebrated film worth one viewing but not much more The Limey is celebrated as the film that gave Terence Stamp a starring role and as director Steven Soderbergh's last independent hurrah before winning the Academy Award with Traffic. It's a revenge drama (an ex-con heads out to Los Angeles to avenge the murder of his daughter) told in flashbacks and flashforwards. I've read dozens of reviews on Amazon and on the Amazon-owned movie database website, and I was surprised to notice how often the analogy of a deck of cards was employed in descriptions of the movie. Fans celebrate the film for its agile flipping through a deck of cards, for the fluidity of time in the storyline.<

>I'm a dissenting voice, and no, I didn't not like the movie because I'm not "film-savvy." It is a beautiful Los Angeles piece which portrays the seedy underside and self-centered social climbing of the city of glitter. Henry Fonda, Terence Stamp, Luis Guzman, and the supporting cast are all excellent. The plot is simple and weak, and the jumbling of time does not make up for what the plot is lacking, The dialog is flat. The viewer is distracted by the camera angles and the use of music which swells over the dialog.
I loved this film
I bought this cheap off amazon or ebay and was very happy to see it. I wish I had seen it on the big screen but those are days gone by. Peter Fonda was good in this movie as was the whole cast. Terence Stamp is outstanding and I like the way he talks. This movie plesantly suprised me.
SODERBERGH'S FINAL INDIE HOORAH
This was Steven Soderbergh's last Indie Hoorah before he becam the Oscar winning director of Traffic. I absolutley love this movie. Terrence Stamp gives on of the best performances of his movie career as Wilson a career criminal who comes to America to avenge his dead daughter. The entire cast is exellent, and I love the editing trick (particularly splicing in clips from Sstamp's first movie, Poor Cow, in flashback scenes). Peter Fonda is just as great as Valentine, the sleazy record producer. This is a definate must see for film buffs.
