American auteur Steven Soderbergh made another innovative film with this revenge thriller. A British ex-con goes to LA to find out the truth about his daughter's death who had an affair with a rich record producer. There's nothing new or exciting about the story itself which comes to life through its stylization, mostly through the innovative editing by Sarah Flack under the guidance of Soderbergh. Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda are perfectly cast, specially since the film relies on their persona's from earlier films. Soderbergh actually uses footage from Stamp's performance in Ken Loach's "Poor Cow" to convey the back story for his character. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
