| I've always disliked the saying: "A triumph of style over substance". This
might be because it is so overused when applied to movies with both style
and substance (like last year's "Fight Club"). However, I can think of no
more accurate description for...more |

| As directed by Steven Soderbergh, "The Limey" is a thriller
almost as jarring as the rhyming Cockney slang used by its central
character, the stoic Wilson, played with frozen fire in his eyes by the
great Terence Stamp. What sounds in synopsis...more |

| Out of Sight director Steven Sorderbergh baffles the hell out of us all
in The Limey, a cold, uninvolving, confusing new thriller. Though the
plot description may at first seem like it came from the pen of Elmore
Leonard (author of Out of Sight, as well...more |

| Soderbergh's direction of "The Limey" is both quiet and stunning. It's the
story of a career criminal named Wilson, portrayed by Terence Stamp. Wilson
leaves England for Los Angeles with the intent to investigate and possibly
to avenge his daughter...more |

| I don't know about any of you but I can live without seeing another crime
picture, especially in this post-Tarantino age. A story about a criminal
avenging the death of his daughter from other criminals should not inspire much
thought or excitement. But...more |

| As a follow-up to what many viewed as Soderbergh's mainstream
breakthrough (although nine years after the film that put him on the
map-- sex, lies, and videotape), Out of Sight, he has chosen as a
sequel. Of course it isn't a sequel to one of...more |

With "sex, lies & videotape,""Out of Sight" and now "The
Limey," film-maker Steven Soderberg has become the master of the
lighter, gentler film noir. Charismatic Terence Stamp (who...more |

| If your story’s villain isn’t particularly heinous, give him/her a tic
or habit; at the very least, annoy us. The Limey’s bad guy, a record

inspecting his teeth and checking his gums with a...more |

| Just thinking about the opening sequence of Steven Soderbergh’s latest

hear a man with a very raspy and very frightening voice demand “Tell
me…tell me…tell me about Jenny,” before it...more |
