On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined, once again, by the always excellent Landon Coats to talk about the revenge story with the most cockney accent around. It\u2019s the 1999 film by Steven Soderbergh, The Limey.

It\u2019s always a good time when Landon drops by because it means we get to talk about all of the movies. No stone goes unturned! We\u2019re delving deep into Soderbergh\u2019s filmography in this one.

That\u2019s not all, though. When Terence Stamp, playing Wilson, comes to kick the crap out of a load of people, you know crap is going to be kicked. It\u2019ll be with a rough British accent, but that\u2019s not going to make it charming or easier to handle. No, people are probably going to die.

The question is: when you\u2019re on a righteous mission of vengeance, is it all forgivable? That\u2019s a question the movie is asking. The people that are at the wrong end of this man\u2019s wrath are meeting their demise, but they\u2019re not great people either. Do two wrongs make a right when it comes to your beloved family?

The twist on this morality angle happens when it becomes clear that the person who instigated this rampage is way over his head. The antagonist of the film, Valentine, plays like he\u2019s a big ol\u2019 tough guy, but he\u2019s just loaded. He plays at being cool and powerful. That\u2019s what everybody says until they\u2019re staring at their doom.

This is a wonderful film with a great cast and unique direction. Be sure to check it out and spread the word about it.
