8/10
"I was distracted to the point of contention at several points in
The Limey
by cinematic technique. I must write that Stamp’s mesmerizing performance eventually drew me back in, every time."
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
3/5
"Soderbergh fans will rejoice. The rest of the world will scratch its collective head."

Christopher Null
B+
"This film seems to be all style and that style is wonderful."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
C-
"I have no problem when films refuse to be constricted by the linearity of time, but I do take exception to movies that decide to play around with it for no reason other than to confuse the viewer."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
"A moody five-finger exercise about loss with a terrific performance by Terence Stamp."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
B-
"Stamp is the elder statesman of intelligent counterculture cinema, and his performance here makes what is otherwise a lackluster project come energetically alive."
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
3/4
"Stamp has done some wonderful work in a long and varied career. This is not his best film, but it may be the most forceful acting he has ever accomplished."
ReelViews

Screen It!

9/10
"This intelligent, oddly aloof thriller is a worthy follow-up to director Steven Soderberg's
Out of Sight
."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
4/5
