The Limey (1999)
Movie
Released
Terence Stamp's grief refuses to fit the decor. His English ex-con arrives looking for answers about his daughter and encounters Los Angeles wealth displayed in airy houses and poolside ease. The sunlight makes people insulated from consequences look especially comfortable.
Steven Soderbergh fractures conversations and memories instead of smoothing them into a revenge ride. That jagged rhythm keeps the past intruding on the bright present, while the short running time makes the disorientation invigorating rather than sprawling.
