Starring Terence Stamp

The Limey

1h 28m

Directed by Steven Soderbergh • 1999 • United States
Starring Terence Stamp, Peter Fonda, Lesley Ann Warren

Steven Soderbergh’s stylish, fascinatingly fractured revenge thriller stars Terence Stamp as a British ex-con who, following his release from prison, heads to Los Angeles to investigate his daughter’s mysterious death, a journey that leads him into a showdown with a shady record producer (Peter Fonda). Likened by the director to “POINT BLANK and GET CARTER remade in the style of Alain Resnais,” THE LIMEY unfolds in a jagged, time-scrambling flashback structure that creates a dreamlike sense of disorientation and evokes the elusive nature of memory itself.
