Terence Stamp, whose presence in any film is categorically always a pleasure, never a chore, plays Wilson, an ageing Cockney gangster who arrives, blinking, in sunny Los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death.

Steven Soderbergh is at the top of his game with this new movie, ably demonstrating that he is one of the most consistently rigorous and self-driven directors currently at work in the American cinema.
