101 - The Limey

    A recently released British criminal takes a trip to LA to investigate the circumstances of his daughter's death.  He uncovers some gang activity, leading him toward a record producer.
    Honestly, I don't have much to say about this.  it's not bad… but for some reason, I found it more difficult to focus on.  It ended well, but the character building leading up to that point just seemed a little too quiet.
    The direction was modestly interesting, with some odd layering of sound and footage.  Steven Soderbergh directed this, and I've been impressed with his other work.  The cast is also excellent.  It's always a pleasure to see Luis Guzman, and Terrance Stamp is fantastic.  Lesley Ann Warren is in here, and she's only improved with age.
