Another Perfect Flick For A Summer Night

The Limey (1999, Artisan) directed by Stephen Soderbergh and starring Terence Stamp, Peter Fonda, Louis Guzman, Barry Newman and a largely unimportant Lesley Ann Warren. When Soderbergh works in the crime, heist or revenge genres he is one of my favorite directors ever. He works the crime/revenge genre here as a badass Englishman comes to LA to figure out what the fuck happened to his daughter. This flick eerily presage the Phil Spector case we're currently not paying much attention to. The cast is dynamite and Wilson's story rings true. Interestingly, after Jackie Brown, I could have watched Soderbergh's 1998 crime/heist flick, Out of Sight which featured the same DEA agents as we saw in Jackie, but the Limey is the better flick for a summer night. Tell him I'm coming... ! Check it out!
