Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

The Limey (1999)

Stacy: Why don't they make shows about people's daily lives you'd be interested in watching? You know, like "Sick Old Man" or "Skinny Little Weakling." "Big Fat Guy." Wouldn't you watch a show called "Big Fat Guy"? I'd watch that fucking show.

You can tell this movie is 25 years old now because there basically are entire networks of shows called Big Fat Guy at this point. Anyway a very happy 25 to Steven Soderbergh's The Limey! This is a movie that needs to be mentioned among the list of that phenomonal year 1999's phenomonal offerings more vigorously -- it ranks right up there among that outrageously good year's very best. Y'all are fans, right? If not go watch it or go watch it again -- I got to see it on the big screen again a couple of years back and man alive this movie fucks. One of Soderbergh's greatest.

Terrence Stamp shows what a real "tough guy" character is in this film. No bells and whistles.
