What they share

Theysit in Crime / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bad Times at the El Royale, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Limey is

A Venice motel—morning light slanting through Venetian blinds. A grey-suited Englishman counts bullet casings on a Formica table. A Polaroid of his daughter’s bedroom sits next to a burner phone.
