'''''The Limey''''' is a revenge [[neo-noir]] crime drama, directed by [[Steven Soderbergh]]

The film starring [[Terence Stamp]] as Wilson, an Englishman straight out of prison and on parole who comes to [[Los Angeles, California]] to investigate the suspicious death of his daughter. As soon as Wilson crosses the pond he discovers that he's like a "fish out of water" in strange America. His suspicions soon fall on his daughter's former boyfriend, celebrity music producer Terry Valentine ([[Peter Fonda]]). Wilson gets help from his late daughter's friends Eduardo Roel ([[Luis Guzmán]]), a fellow student (and an [[ex-con]]) and Elaine ([[Lesley Ann Warren]], his daughter's acting teacher). Together they put the pieces together and solve his daughter's murder.

The movie is notable due to its character acting and its non-traditional editing technique, splitting dialogues over several scenes and places.
