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."  Filmcritic.com  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  James Berardinelli

5/5
"There's more to this crime-thriller than meets the eye."  Netflix  James Rocchi

3/4
"Work with this one, it’s worth the effort."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

"A cut above the standard revenge-based picture."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

7/10
"...a tough, lean revenge picture with a smattering of subtle wit."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

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
"What looks like an ordinary revenge tale is livened and improved by Stamp's nuanced performance."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
