Star 
I don’t know how this got on my watch list. If I see top movie lists that look interesting (best films of 20xx, best cult films of all time, etc), I’ll bookmark them and check them out later…

An extremely volatile and dangerous Englishman goes to Los Angeles to find the man he considers responsible for his daughter's death.”

Review:
Story: meh
Writing: terrible, self-conscious. Could have been a studen project
Acting: poor, stiff
Editing: conspicuous and annoying

Cast: Terence stamp, Peter Fonda, Luis Guzman, Leslie Ann warren
Director: Steven Soderbergh

Not recommended

I liked it. I like modern noir and had no problems, even *enjoyed* the editing.

I did, however, see it in the theatre when it came out, so over two decades ago.

So, 20 years ago Yeti liked it.
