Film Description

Terence Stamp is brilliant as the jailbird cockney gangster roaming the streets of LA to avenge his daughter’s death. The editing is extra special as we flick back and forth through time hypnotically, using scenes from Ken Loach’s 1968 film “Poor Cow” to show a younger Stamp. The Hollywood Hills and opulent lifestyles of the rich and shameless look beautiful through Soderbergh’s masterful lens and Stamp’s story is chillingly absorbing.

Review by cj on 6th June 2000

An ex-conman finds himself in Los Angeles on the hunt for his daughter's murderer...Stamp is superb as the ageing, streetwise ex-con, bemusing the LA natives with a combination of Cockney rhyming slang and hard man resilience. With a fine score and cinematography, this relaxed genre gem is as effortlessly stylish and playfully inventive as Soderbergh's previous 'Out of Sight', proving again the versatility of one of America's finest directors.
