An ex-con, fresh out of prison, goes to L.A. to try to learn who murdered his daughter. However, he quickly finds that he is completely out of place with no understanding of the culture he finds. His investigations are helped by another ex-con. Together they learn that his daughter had been having an affair with a record producer, who is presently having an affair with another young woman. An aging actress, who also knew his daughter, forces him to look at his own failures as a father. The movie does focus on the drama of the situation and the inter-relationships of the characters and seldom slips into an action piece.
Leave your thoughts about The Limey.
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannA first-rate crime thriller and further proof that Soderbergh is one of our great contemporary film stylists. |
| San Francisco ExaminerWesley MorrisMakes a term like neo-noir seem like a fatuous catch phrase. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA small cubist masterpiece about crime and punishment set in that most split-level of environments, Los Angeles. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyAn apparently simple movie that demands and rewards a deeper look. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkOne of those movies in which pacing, dialogue and the right actors enliven a familiar story. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIntoxicatingly well-crafted entertainment about hunting down your enemy. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsStamp, whose ability to make Wilson simultaneously coarse and charismatic is irresistibly entertaining. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanThe pleasure of The Limey lies in watching what actors who have aged like fine wine can do in that world. |
| Film.comTom KeoghOne of the best films seen in many years about the mysterious workings of time and memory. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanfordthe filmmaker has great fun trying to catch his audience off-guard, tossing in a burst of humor when you least expect it... |
