Director
Steven Soderbergh

Year

Genre

Synopsis
In this gripping crime drama from Steven Soderbergh, the award winning director of Traffic and Erin Brokovich, Terence Stamp stars as a hardened British ex-con who descends like an avenging angel on a Hollywood drug empire who he suspects of foul play in the death of his daughter.

Support cast includes Easy Rider's Peter Fonda, Lesley Ann Warren, Barry Newman and Luis Guzman.

The soundtrack includes The Who, The Hollies, Boston, Steppenwolf, The Doobie Bros. and the Byrds.

TRIVIA:
Footage from the 1967 film Poor Cow (1967), Ken Loach's directorial debut, is featured as flashbacks of Wilson (Stamp) with his baby daughter and wife; the first song heard in is "The Seeker" by The Who. During the 1960s one of The Who's two managers was Chris Stamp, Terence Stamp's brother; throughout the film Ed (Luis Guzman) is seen wearing shirts with famous political figures on them.
