Oh I loved "Limey." Stamp gets out of prison and goes to find out what happened to his daughter years after the fact. The plot is non-linear, so you have to figure out what has happened by mentally putting them back where they go. They use bits of an old Terence Stamp movie in it for the flashback. The ending is poignant. See it!

I wasn't so sure about "Burn After Reading." I don't think it is the Cohn's best work. And the wife is Tilda Swinton, and her acting is polished as always.

They get good performances out of a bunch of Hollywood names. I wasn't so sure about Brad Pitt as the buff gym idiot. It's all a spoof on espionage thrillers and it has its moments.
