Mike Hodges and Clive Owen, director and star of the stylish 1998 crime drama Croupier, team again in this moody, almost contemplative thriller about a former gangster, Will Graham (Owen), who returns to London after a lengthy self-exile. In a tragic coincidence, Will's brother, Davey (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), has just committed suicide following a rape by a wealthy car dealer (Malcolm McDowell). Convinced there is more to Davey's death than meets the eye, Will--arguing he is nothing like his old, violent, urban self--slowly evolves again into a formidable criminal. Hodges and screenwriter Trevor Preston emphasize tone and spiritual inference over precise character motivation. Not everything that can be known about Will (especially his rocky psychological state and history with a former lover, played by Charlotte Rampling) is expressly stated. But one can feel his stifled nature rising, paradoxically, toward revenge, and his final actions have an existential power and mystery. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Clueless Beautifully photographed, moodily and hiply scored, dripping with charisma and sex appeal from Clive Owen and Charlotte Rampling, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" nonetheless fails to inspire anything but bewilderment: with all this talent and these superior production values...what happened?
Clive Owen plays Will, an exiled criminal that returns home to solve the death, supposedly suicide, of his younger brother Davey: a spiffy, low level drug dealer and Babe magnet. Director Mike Hodges ("Croupier") wants to have it all and he throws everything but the kitchen sink at us: there is an extended discussion of suicide that is better left for an educational film, there are old grudges thrown at Will from all sides none of which are resolved nor explained and then there is the character of Boad (Malcolm MacDowell) whose motivations are at best silly and at worst, empty-headed and ill-conceived.
"ISWID" is beautiful to look at then, but on closer inspection it's empty and illogical and more importantly a huge waste of talent and money.
