After his sharp return to form with Out of Sight, director Steven Soderbergh stays with the thriller genre for The Limey.
This droll revenge movie brings together two 1960s cultural icons from opposite sides of the Atlantic - Terence Stamp (above) as a world-weary English career criminal who travels to the US when his daughter is murdered, and Peter Fonda as the wealthy Los Angeles record producer he believes is responsible for her death.
A fine supporting cast includes Lesley Ann Warren, Luis Guzman, Barry Newman and Joe Dallesandro, and the soundtrack aptly features old hits from The Who, The Hollies, The Byrds, Steppenwolf and Boston - with Stamp, who is on rare form, singing Donovan's Colours.
The film is showing a selected cinemas.
