THE LIMEY (1999), Steven Soderbergh, dir.

I had the same reaction to this as I have to most of Soderbergh's films: nothing especially bowls me over, but everything works as it should. Here as elsewhere, Soderbergh is a reliably solid craftsman—and I truly don't intend that as faint praise—but he seems, to me, to lack the obsessions that make the best filmmakers of his generation hit (and miss!) more thrillingly. Recommended nevertheless! RIP Terence Stamp.
