THE LIMEY

Soderbergh goes Tarantino. This movie was so clearly inspired by Tarantino's work
(Reservoir Dogs etc.) that I wonder if Steven Soderbergh was threatened, felt he had to prove himself. I mean how many would-be eloquent/witty hitmen could there be? A crime-movie pissing contest. Tarantino wins. Peter Fonda is creepily charming. Emphasis on creepy, those horse-teeth are bizarre, to say the least. I wonder why that whole Narc sequence was necessary, but I'm too tired to bother thinking about it. This is a a geezer's movie in the way that The Golden Girls was granny-sitcom. Nothing touching or interesting or quirky about the storyline or the characters. Maybe you could say that it was made for the old man in all of us, eh? Eh? I clearly have nothing much to say here so I will stop now.

PS The idiot woman who wrote the review at imdb.com should be shot and her grave desecrated on an annual basis.
