Steven Soderbergh's "The Limey" with Terence Stamp, Peter Fonda, Lesley Warren, Luis Guzman and Barry Newman is the best film noir I've seen in a long time. Terence Stamp and the entire cast are superb. Stamp is convincing as the limey who comes to L.A. (where else?)to investigate the mysterious death of his daughter, and Newman is great as the heavy heavy as is Fonda as the light heavy. I didn't notice an extra scene or word in this lean, new noir flick. The simple plot is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire movie.
