Leave it to an English newspaper to get the still-weirdly underseen classic The Limey into a headline about Terence Stamp

Funny thing is that The Limey is the first film that pops in my mind when I connect a film to Terence Stamp.

Limey had a helluva cast. RIP Nicky Katt. How is Joe Dallesandro still alive?

It got rotten reviews at the time. But Stamp makes a very plain man into a relentless and unstoppable force. I think then dialogue - and his over the top accent - turned people off, when they are makes the character so real

For a movie I have not seen in forever, I still remember the way he STANDS UP and walks back in after he gets the hell beaten out of him and thrown out of that warehouse. Second memory 10 seconds later: “Tell him I’m fucking coming!”

Underrated film, if you haven't seen it, correct that soon.

it surprises me how little known it is, and how people miss the profound meditation on loss and regret
