Terrence Stamp Rocks The Limey


The Limey is an excellent revenge thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh (Traffic). It stars force of nature Terrence Stamp as Wilson, a man bent on avenging the death of his daughter. It also co-stars Peter Fonda (who I've always liked), and Luis Guzman (always good). Very well composed revenge drama reminiscent of early seventies Sam Peckinpah films like Straw Dogs (totally killer) and The Wild Bunch. The Limey is like 100 other films, but it's slick direction and man on fire performance from Stamp makes it a visceral thrill to watch. Pulp yes, but really good pulp all the same.

Oh yeah, great poster too. For more great movie posters, go here.
