MPAA Rating: R
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Genres: Crime
Rating:
Two actors best known for their work in the late 1960s, Terence_Stamp and Peter_Fonda, star in The Limey, a drama in which a recently released felon contemplates the gulf between aging criminals like himself and their modern counterparts. Wilson (Stamp) is a British career criminal who has been released after nine years in prison. He has learned that his daughter Jenny died under suspicious circumstances in Los Angeles, so he travels to America for the first time to find out what happened and who's responsible. With the help of an ex-con named Ed (Luis_Guzman), Wilson discovers Jenny was romantically involved with Valentine (Fonda), a middle-aged record producer with a shady past and a fondness for young women. In hopes of getting the truth -- and getting to Valentine -- Wilson finds himself doing battle with some of the worst criminals to crawl from the underbelly of Los Angeles; along the way, he also meets Elaine (Lesley_Ann_Warren), an older actress who knew Jenny and reminds Wilson of how little he really did for his daughter while she was alive. Steven_Soderbergh's first film after his commercial comeback with 1998's Out_Of_Sight, The Limey features, along with Stamp and Fonda, two other notable 60's actors in supporting roles, Barry_Newman and Joe_Dallesandro.
