Notes: Terence Stamp has had a long film career as a character actor, starting in 1962, but you might know him best from appearances in films such as Superman I and II, the Smallville TV series (as Superman’s real father, Jor-El), Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, or Alien Nation, amongst others. Stamp might look weathered but as the ex-con Englishman Wilson in The Limey, he’s dangerous – and not particularly happy, thanks to the death of his daughter. He sets out to Los Angeles to find the man responsible. He learns, with the help of another ex-con (Luis Guzman) and an actress (Lesley Ann Warren), that his daughter had been having an affair with a record producer (Peter Fonda), whom he feels is responsible. The movie has its slow moments, but when it picks up, the action is intense. It also apparently uses a clip of a 1967 film, to show Stamp when he was younger.
