Synopsis

Dave Wilson, an English ex-con, travels to Los Angeles to avenge his daughter’s death. Upon arrival, Wilson goes to task battling an army of LA’s toughest criminals, hoping to piece together what happened. After surviving a near death beating, Wilson decides to dole out some bodily harm of his own.

Our take

In Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda, this fish-out-of-water revenge yarn sets two icons of the British New Wave and New Hollywood on a thrilling collision course. Marked by a stylistic playfulness and wicked wit, The Limey is a slinkily assured neo-noir that stands among Steven Soderbergh’s very best.
