Stamp is fantastic as a criminal who will not stop until someone answers for his dead daughter. Although this sort of revenge movie is pretty common, in the hands of Soderbergh it reaches a new level. Dialogue is overlapped, we often don't see the character talk. The timeline is askew as we skip forward and then backward. Fonda is sleazy as can be as a record producer who lives with a succession of young girls. Fun to watch.
