A first-rate crime thriller and further proof that Soderbergh is one of our great contemporary film stylists.
This may be Soderbergh's masterpiece. It is so much more than a revenge story. From the opening at LAX with the Who's "The Seeker" blaring, the Limey arrives looking for answers. Terence Stamp gives what may be his finest performance. The play with chronology, use of music and sound, clips from Stamp in "Poor Cow" (1968), Peter Fonda, Barry Newman, Luiz Guzman, and Lesley Ann Warren, all make for a top flight film that reveals more on subsequent viewings. Highly recommended.
One of the best films seen in many years about the mysterious workings of time and memory.
