	DVD Review - The Limey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		While "The Limey" offers little surprises in terms of the story, it is the film’s narrative that is very exciting.
		The title "Limey" actually comes from the fact that Wilson is British, and during the war, British soldiers were given limes to to eat to get their daily dosage of vitamins.
		Artisan Entertainment has been releasing "The Limey" in 16x9 enhanced widescreen presentation on this DVD that restores the film’s original theatrical 1.85:1 aspect ratio.

	Alternative words for British - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Limey is an old American and Canadian slang nickname for the British, originally referring to British sailors.
		The term is believed to derive from lime-juicer, referring to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy practice of supplying lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy in the 19th century.
		The term Limey evolved into a verb "to lime" which means to hang out.

	The Limey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Just so, The Limey's generic storyline is not as important as the film's disruption of and insight into the conventions of story telling itself, into the whole nature of time and the self that tells these tales.
		In The Limey, from the very beginning we don't know whether Stamp's Wilson, an aging ex-con from London in LA on a mission of revenge, is coming or going.
		Without Stamp, though, The Limey would be just a juicier neo noir with a twist -- his presence makes Soderbergh's free-associative fragmentation seem not so much like editing-room pyrotechnics as the tormented workings of a mind torn by loss, rage, desire, and the imponderables of time.

	"The Limey" - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		And Wilson moves through them all like a cross between Lee Marvin in "Point Blank" and David Bowie in "The Man Who Fell to Earth." Stamp is the alien (in both senses of the word) as revenge machine, a sinister avenging angel, slumming through the city's scuzz, both high and low, while holding himself apart.
		"The Limey" doesn't go very deep, but sometimes there's pleasure to be had in enjoying a movie with a hero who's a bit of a bastard.
		And "The Limey" has been made by people who are too smart to turn Wilson into an Eastwood-style automaton, or to use the noir conventions as bloody deadpan nihilism -- as in the manner of all the Taranteenies who've embraced the genre as a means of showing how hip they are.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Limey" review (1999)
		One for the library, "The Limey" requires your undevided attention on the small screen because of its largely unspoken mood.
		Director Steven Soderbergh's "The Limey" is everything the recent Mel Gibson vehicle "Payback" wished it could be.
		Soderbergh does not depend on linear storytelling, and he gives "The Limey" a breathless momentum by editing it in such a way that no shot lasts more than 10 or 12 seconds.

	The Limey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		A mesmerizing mosaic of image and sound, Steven Soderbergh's The Limey is a tale of revenge, regret and biding one's time until the distractions clear away and only answers remain.
		He's not a grieving father suddenly emboldened by his loss: he's always played around the edges, and he knows exactly what corners people are willing to cut to protect their own backs.
		The Limey has a tricky quality to it, a violence that's quiet and a inexorable pace that's never rushed, never frantic, though images of 30 years ago -- including inspired footage from Stamp's 1967 film Poor Cow, in which he played a London criminal -- collide with dialogue from the '90s.

	Review: The Limey
		Steven Soderbergh's The Limey, for example, is a wholehearted homage to such movies of the '60s as Point Blank and Petulia (with a nod to Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns as well).
		But it serves a purpose in The Limey, which is the tale of a man obsessed with the past and trying to make reparations for his own mistakes, and it's visually scintillating.
		The Limey is a stylish, hard-edged melodrama, and it's a wonderful showcase for Stamp, one of the sexy icons of the '60s who's overdue for a rediscovery more serious than the one prompted by Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

		Essentially a trumped-up underworld vendetta flick, THE LIMEY becomes a surreal landscape in the hands of Stamp and Soderbergh, envisioning urban California as both a desolate wasteland and an oasis of excess.
		There are almost two films at work in THE LIMEY, and audiences may wish that someone had left out the kitschy, ambient one and left the gritty, intricate one Stamp is living in.
		As a former friend (and acting school classmate) of Jenny who alerts Wilson to the underhanded nature of her murder, he is alternately funny, wise, clever, serious, and mesmerizing.

	The Limey . Austin Chronicle . 10-25-99
		The Limey continues in the vein he established with his previous film Out of Sight straightforward genre pieces that he treats as anything but straightforward.
		When broken down, The Limey's story (written by Lem Dobbs, who also wrote the screenplay for Soderbergh's Kafka) is a simple revenge tale that Soderbergh uses as the spine for his narrative reassemblage.
		Somewhat problematic is the conclusion of The Limey, as it presents a not-quite-motivated action (or, more properly, inaction), but this is a minor problem in a film that provides so many other conceptual thrills.

	The Limey (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In `The Limey', Terrence Stamp plays Wilson, a career criminal who, upon being released from prison in England, finds out that his estranged daughter has died (or perhaps been murdered) in Los Angeles.
		Seeing `The Limey', made before `Erin Brockovich' and shortly a couple of years after `Kafka', I was happy to see that he kind of held on to that spirit (for lack of a better expression) for one more film before producing more commercial fare.
		`The Limey' is told in a very non-linear style, and not even as clearly delineated as say, `Pulp Fiction' was; rather it is flashbacks and real-time events expressed by fluttering scenes and an almost wispy presentation.

		Limey is a discriminatory or racist word for a Britishman.
		The use of limey would be the same as the use of 'Wine Drinking Rapist' for a Frenchman, 'Guiness Drinkin Wife Beater' for an Irishman and 'Vodka Drinkin Commie' for a Russian.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Limey
		The Limey is directed by Steven Soderbergh (sex, lies and videotape, Kafka, Out of Sight and the current hit Erin Brockovich) and written by Lem Dobbs (Kafka, Dark City).
		Soderbergh likes to think yes, The Limey is a continuation of sorts and Dobbs is very strongly no. An interesting debate that really does not matter in the context of the actual film but does give The Limey another layer of subtext.
		Artisan and everyone involved with The Limey are congratulated on a job well done and are free to leave the court on their own recognizance.

		What distinguishes "The Limey" is that the four central characters are all played by actors in the prime of their lives.
		Hard hitting and lean, "The Limey" is one of those great little movies that gets in, gets the job done, and then makes a quick exit.
		"The Limey" could be classified as a mature version of "Payback." The scenarios and the main character's unrelenting pursuit of the truth and justice are similar.

	MetroActive Movies \| 'The Limey'
		The Limey is never a taut movie, and it almost loses its thread in the pursuit of visions of California, its gorgeousness and decadence.
		The Limey isn't a diatribe but an elegy, taking in L.A. parties from the point of view of a director who has always been an outsider in the film business.
		The troubling way this limey switches from avenging angel to guardian angel ruins the movie for those who can't submit to Soderbergh's dazzling style.

	[mplpost] "Limey" a racial slur? - most of the origin and WHY it is
		Re the comment of Pat Moore on the derivation of 'LIMEY' Essentially this is correct that limes were used to prevent scurvy on some british ships.
		The reason it is considered a slur is that originally lemons were used on long voyages to prevent scurvy, but some ship owners thought that this was too expensive and so substituted CHEAPER limes which basically worked though perhaps not as effectively.
		So someone ' I think possibly of French origin', wishing to slight or disparage the British called them 'LIMEYS', as a mild insult implying that the British were more concerned with profit that the well-being and health of the seamen.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE LIMEY movie by Steven Soderbergh with Terence Stamp, Peter Fonda, Lesley Ann Warren, Luis ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		"The Limey" is a fascinating film about a complex British ex-con coming to America to investigate his daughter's death — for the first half-hour, anyway, before it turns ordinary and distant.
		"The Limey" is at its absolute best when it's in reflective mode though, with close-ups of Wilson sitting on a plane, thinking, or standing outside a wrought-iron gate, his head cocked to one side with a cigarette dangling out one corner of his mouth, thinking.
		Peter Fonda, playing Valentine, is nicely centered in the unlikeable role of the affluent, weak, and shady L.A. businessman, but perhaps as strong is the performance of Luis Guzm·n (you probably don't know the name but you'll recognize the face), who appears as another friend of Jenny's who serves as Wilson's tour guide.

	The Limey: Modernism Meets Classicism
		In large measure The Limey’s classicism/modernism sensibility is a result of Soderbergh’s complex fusion of his European art house influences, specifically Alain Resnais and Jean-Luc Godard, with the classic gangster/vendetta model.
		In The Limey the figure of Terry Valentine represents the corruption of the music industry by way of his illegal money laundering, while in Performance rock music and gangsterism evolves according to the film’s döppelganger theme.
		In this one respect, gender politics, The Limey relies on the machismo conventions of the gangster (and western) film (strong male hero with unique strengths and resolve, the moral use of violence, justified vengeance, etc.).

		With The Limey Soderbergh continues to explore themes of familial reclamation and genre satire, while striking new ground conceptually.
		It is noted that his surroundings are built on trust, again an ironic comment considering the perversion of the ideal of trust a money launderer practices.
		In The Limey, Soderbergh employs an arsenal of creative editing techniques and hand-held camerawork that recalls the exciting work done in the late 60s by Nicholas Roeg and John Boorman, while simultaneously reinventing the crime genre for the late 90s.

		Since the Limey's inception, we've had many requests for an explanation of England's two domestic knock-out cup competitions: the FA (Football Association) Cup, and the Carling (an English beer) Cup.
		Don't expect it to be called the Carling Cup for long though, as the company is the latest in a long line of outfits to gain the commercial naming rights.
		The major difference between the EPL and the FA or Carling Cups is that the Premiership is played in a league format, whereby all 20 clubs play each other twice, while the FA and Carling Cups are knock-out competitions that involve all 92 of England's professional football teams.

	"It was my desire to fuck with people..."
		The first thing I tell Steven Soderbergh is that when I saw The Limey, a projectionist or print error caused several minutes of the movie to be shown twice, but that the film’s structure is so complicated I had to see it again to make sure the repetition was a mistake.
		Certain to be one of the year’s most challenging releases, The Limey is also one of its funniest and most engaging.
		Shot in a rapid, fluid style, the film’s densely layered style took an arduous eight weeks to edit: not longer than average, but you can practically hear Soderbergh wince as he talks about it.
