Sam Neill leads well as the boss of the radio dish, negotiating the complex iSSues of his co- workers with their big- shot NASA Overseers with elegaic sinipliCrty. Funny. and gently beautiful.

THE LIMEY Channel 4, Mon 5 Nov, 10.35pm 0000

Steven Soderbergn made

this thriller between Out Of Sight and Erin Brockovrch. and it's an unashamed homage to

608 and 708 British crime

films. Think Performance. think Get Carter. like the films of that era. The erey mixes bruta

realism with arty aesthetic

with Soderbergh reall, nailing his homage. However. a lot of Viewers found the title character ageing Cockney hard-nut \"".’:Isoi‘ (played by Terence Stamp) off-putting arxl too much of a caricature. The set-up has Wilson taking a trip to los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death. Hrs dealings with Hispanic thugs. the West Coast criminal elite and FBI agents prompt Wilson to reson not Just to some serious GBH. but also to rhyming slang. In terms of style. the fractured. non- chronologrcal editing works like a dream. getting right inside Wilson's head. But Soderbergh's real coup :; casting two cinematic icons. Stamp and. as the villain. none other than Captain America rriniser‘. Peter Fonda. (Miles Fielder)
