The Limey is your typical revenge narrative about an Englishman who tries to unravel the mystery of his daughter’s murder. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the cinematography and editing is unusual but spectacular. His use of storytelling through technical applications transforms and differentiates the narrative from what you may already know. It’s a visually stunning film with terrific performances and unusual twists – something you’re bound to enjoy, particularly if, like me, you get off on weird and wonderful cinematography.
Terence Stamp is absolutely amazing as ever, playing the father of a murdered woman. His portrayal is perfect showing an equal amount of rage to emotion within an initially seeming icy persona. In terms of the character he was playing, I loved the way that he was crafted in the writing. The dialogue and overall storyline are brilliant, but the characters in particular are well thought out and so realistic.
This film is a more realistic version of Kill Bill with artsy direction – what’s not to like?
