Two Films. Sexy Beast - Gal's life on the Costa del Sol as a happily retired gangster is interrupted by a call from London telling him that Don Logan is travelling out to Spain to persuade to take part in one last job.

The Limey - Ageing gangster Dave Wilson finishes an eight-year prison sentence only to discover that his estranged daughter Jenny has been killed in Los Angeles. Travelling to America, Wilson discovers that Jenny's record producer boyfriend has some dubious criminal associates who don't take too kindly to him snooping around.

Cinema Club The Limey [1999]
Two icons of 1960s cinema, Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda, go head-to-head in Steven Soderbergh's stylish reworking of the lone avenger theme. Stamp plays Wilson, an ageing Cockney villain newly out of jail, who arrives in Los Angeles to ask some awkward questions. His beloved daughter, mistress of powerful rock promoter Terry Valentine (Fonda), has died in a car crash; but Wilson is far from convinced it was an accident. With his gaunt, grim features and sparse white hair, Stamp is a dead ringer for the angel of death. Or maybe, as Soderbergh hints with some intricate flashback and flash-forward cutting, the whole story is a dying man's dream of vengeance. Echoes of <i>Get Carter</i> and <i>Point Blank</i> aren't far to seek. Though it is tense, gripping and often funny--Wilson's rhyming-slang dialogue bemuses every American he meets--<i>The Limey</i> is shot through with an aching sense of loss and wasted years. The final showdown between Wilson and Valentine feels like the epitaph of an era once rich in dreams. Some of the film's most poignant moments are its flashbacks to Wilson's younger days, which are actually clips from Ken Loach's 1967 movie <i>Poor Cow</i>, featuring the 20-something Stamp, insolently and heart-breakingly beautiful. --<i>Philip Kemp</i>
