Upon arrival, Wilson goes to task battling Valentine (Peter Fonda) and an army of L.A.'s toughest criminals, hoping to find clues and piece together what happened.

Critics Consensus

Crafted with eccentric moodiness and style by Steven Soderbergh,The Limey is also a gritty neo-noir showcase for the talent of leading man Terence Stamp.

The Limey is one of many American films released in 1999 that seemed to be saying goodbye to the rebel spirit that allowed indies and mainstream movies to comingle as they had in the ’70s.

The crimer suffers from a slim, underdeveloped script by Lem Dobbs (who also write Kafka), but benefits from Soderbergh's astute direction that posits two 1960s cinematic icons, Brit Terrence Stamp and American Peter Fonda as long-time enemies.

Eleanor Ringel Cater

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Those interested in more challenging work will find the film a unique meditation on the nature of Hollywood.

It’s like the original 'Get Carter' channeled through 'Point Blank,' a hard-edged revenge thriller steeped in sorrow and regret.

A Good Movie To Watch

The bare bones of The Limey’s story are gripping enough [...] but what Steven Soderbergh does with them elevates this neo-noir thriller into something utterly singular and stacked with layers upon layers of meaning.

Nashville Scene

It's a brisk and relentless story, with a killer supporting cast (Lesley Anne Warren, Joe Dallesandro, Nicky Katt and Luis Guzmán!) and an inevitability that you feel in every cut. Truly one of the great films of 1999.

Terence Stamp is The Limey Here he co-stars with Luis Guzman, Lesley Ann Warren, Melissa George, and the late Peter Fonda and directed by Peter Soderberg An English career criminal Wilson who gets out of a 9 year prison sentence He’s on his way to the United States to investigate the supposed death of his only daughter, Jenny He starts to get in deeper than expected particularly with main suspect Terry Valentine The film is very trippy in its filmmaking style and the editing jumps around a lot, and other scenarios play out This is more of a slow pot boiler reminiscent of the 1970s thrillers of old The big shootout doesn’t happen until the last half and the final confrontation Stamp gives a commanding performance as per usual in this neo noir piece steeped more in sorrow or regret It’s a farewell to the nimble spirit despite an underdeveloped story

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

An ex-con Englishman travels to LA to investigate the death of his estranged daughter, whom he thinks was actually murdered.Terence Stamps as cool and moody as only he can be. The script is undercooked but Soderbergh steers his ship with an even hand, maintaining the tension throughout.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Not just another crime thriller. This plot has depth as we watch a career criminal rethink his relationships. Terence Stamp's performance is outstanding.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Some of the most ridiculous overuse of cockney I've ever heard. NO ONE speaks that way. Must have been painful for the guy, as he is actually from the East end of London and would know. Pretty poor plot. Just meh. Hysterical having the one actress either in a bath or in a pool for 90% of her scenes. Hygiene! In sure that was it. Like a PSA about the importance of hygiene!

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Interesting story that is much more about the father and daughter than murder drugs and sex. Much better than I expected especially the ending.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A movie about an ex convict, Wilson, who flies from London to LA to revenge his daughter's death. The movie is surprisingly better than expected from watching the first scenes. Wilson's affect is strange and at a robotic, and the movie moves with a slight back and forth timeline. Nonetheless, the movie doesn't miss a beat. If anything the end feels a bit rushed, we almost feel like watching it again right after.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
