Movie
The movie is not exactly a thriller. It's more or less a chance to give Stamp and Fonda valuable screen time. Stamp is excellent has Wilson. He has several subtle, yet funny lines. He's a guy you don't want to mess with. Fonda is great as Valentine, a slippery, scared rich man who really has no idea why Stamp is after him. With a great cast, and 2 Oscar nominated actors, The Limey is a movie that you will enjoy with multiple viewings.

Disc
The Limey sports 2 commentary tracks. Also, the isolated score is included. That's a good thing because the score is awesome. The menus, though not breathtaking, are pretty nifty. I wished there were some deleted scenes, but there's not. The video is anamorphic and it looks great. Not scratches or pixels to be found. The audio does its job. The scenes with gunshots are the only times the audio wakes up, as the most of the movie is dialogue oriented. Still, a great package for a standard release.

Overall
This movie was really neat. If you've seen Soderbergh's Out of Sight, definitely pick this one up. You'll see some similarities, but he has a few new things in this movie. Recommended.
