the Limey
I saw that this was going to be this weeks' cult canon, and it looked interesting, so bought it before hand. This is a cool movie, from 1999. A little bit non-linear, a lot of quick, odd edits that make it disjointed in an interesting way. The story itself is a fairly straightforward revenge plot. Luis Guzman is great. Then there's the parade of 60s/70s people. Barry Newman from Vanishing Point. Joe Dallesandro from Andy Warhol movies such as Flesh for Frankenstein and Blood for Dracula. Peter Fonda co-stars with Terence Stamp, and they use old footage from a 1967 film of Stamp's to provide flashbacks. The commentary tracks are both interesting, a nice dvd. Especially for $2, used.
