The Limey (1999)
6/10
A Film spolt by the acting of Terence Stamp
1 March 2002
Watching this film i feel like apologising to our American friends across the water for one of the worst acting performances i have seen by a British actor for a very long time. Let me explain that i am from London and i dont think i have ever met a person who speaks in the accent that Terence stamp chose to in The Limey. His attempt at being a wide boy Cockney is so bad that it spoilt what is not a bad film. The story is simple and easy to follow and the film flows throughout......until Stamp opens his mouth. The other actors such as Luiz Guzman and Peter Fonda do there best to pick up the pieces of Stamps awful performance but it never recovers. Watch this for the worst cockney steryotype since Dick van dyke! 6 out of 10.
