The Limey (1999)

A British ex-convict (Terence Stamp) arrives in Los Angeles to investigate the mystery behind his daughter's (Melissa George) "accidental" death. His prime suspect, a wealthy music promoter (Peter Fonda) is no easy target. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (ERIN BROCKOVICH). A solid revenge thriller all dolled up with unnecessary "artsy" editing that gives the movie an unfair pretentious aura. The film presents Terence Stamp with one of his best late career roles. The flashback sequences utilize scenes from POOR COW (1967) which starred the young Stamp. A solid example of neo noir, the film makes excellent use of its Los Angeles locations from the chic Hollywood Hills residences to the sleazy environs of downtown L.A. to the gorgeous coastline of Big Sur. With Lesley Ann Warren, Barry Newman, Luis Guzman, Amelia Heinle and Joe Dallesandro.
