The Limey follows Wilson, a tough English ex-con who travels to Los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death. Upon arrival, Wilson goes to task battling Valentine and an army of L.A.'s toughest criminals, hoping to find clues and piece together what happened. After surviving a near-death beating, getting thrown from a building and being chased down a dangerous mountain road, the Englishman decides to dole out some bodily harm of his own.

VIBE

A hard-boiled, existential journey fueled by loss and a grim determination. It feels like a sun-baked, weary L.A. night, where every shadow holds a threat and every encounter is a potential confrontation. The air is thick with unspoken history and the promise of brutal reckoning.
