Watched this the other day since it was on Prime. It was good but not great.tragabigzanda wrote:Threw on The Limey last night. Made it about halfway through before I had to turn in. Been a real long time since I've see it. Need to finish it but there's a good chance it's gonna get a nice little bump in my Soderbergh rankings.

Felt the same way. Turned it off about 30 minutes in and watched Seinfeld instead. Maybe the gimmick wore off because everyone is practically in the Truman Show these days and don't care.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Your thoughts? I watched it again recently and it didn’t catch me like it used to
