I liked it, but I don't remember liking it that much. I'd say I should watch it again, just to verify, but with 500 movies on my stagnant Netflix queue, I think we know that's not happening.
I had the unpleasant realization that at my current rate, I wasn't likely to watch all the movies I owned, watch the movies on my Netflix list, or read all the books I owned within my lifetime. And that's assuming no additions. Sigh.
Oddly, I mentioned The Limey to someone just Sunday. He was talking about some blog which had a conversation going about "favorite revenge movies" and I thought of The Limey .. It'd be on my list ..
This is probably the best Soderbergh movie, but that's not saying a whole bunch. I love the commentary track where Lem Dobbs rips him for ruining his script -- and Dobbs is right.
I think the movie plays much, much, much better in a theater -- the craft in the sound editing works much better in a big theater.
Still, it's a good movie, even if it's Soderbergh ripping off Point Blank for much of it.
