Don't mess with an angry old man.
When Wilson (Terence Stamp) is released from prison after several years, he flies to Big Sur to find out what exactly happened to his daughter Jenny (Melissa George) who apparently died of a broken neck in a fiery car crash. Wilson first contacts Eduardo Roel (Luis Guzmán), a friend of Jenny's, who had mailed Wilson a newspaper clipping informing him of his daughter's death. He also talks to Jenny's friend Elaine (Lesley Ann Warren) and begins to get a bead on the fact that Jenny wasn't that sweet little child he know.
In near Terminator-mode, Wilson sets out to track down Terry Valentine (Peter Fonda), the drug king Jenny lived with at the time of her death.
Other's in the cast include Barry Newman as Valentine's advisor Jim Avery; Nicky Katt, William Lucking, Matthew Kimbrough, John Robotham and Steve Heinze as assorted henchmen, goons, and bodyguards.
Interesting to see old footage of Terance Stamp in the 1967 film Poor Cow which was the inspiration for The Limey.
Directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Run time: 1 hour, 29 minutes
Rated R for violence and language.
My personal rating: B-
