Now that’s all well and good as long as the protagonist gets a decent, clever, and final word in. Unlike Bill in Volume II there was no “Superman” monologue. When Will finally confronts his brother’s rapist, Boad (phoned in by McDowell), Will asks him why. After a shave and a haircut, gone is Will’s little frumpy lumberjack get up and in is the squeaky clean, suite wearing Clive Owen. How can they show a rape scene in the beginning and then try to make as if it were an unknown plot twist towards the end of the second act? How does that work? The script throws away any potential ending that would’ve justified that slow build up. Cut to Will standing behind the closed curtain.TALKING TO THE GUY. Sawyers Starring Camille Montgomery, Steven Remalia, Gary Klavans, Stephaun Pender and J.R. Will is closing some curtains and questioning a guy saying, “I’m Davey’s brother” and immediately you would think this guy is gonna get a major league ass kicking. Before Im Dead A Feature Film Produced and Directed by J.R.
Even when you think business is about to pick up, in never does. After that all he does is sit there and talk and talk. Sounds okay right? Well sadly, Will doesn’t even find out his brother died until half way through the flick. It seems Will must come out of retirement to avenge and investigate the death of his little brother Davy (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers). The end result is, by far, the most boring cinematic experience I’ve had since Reign of Fire.Ĭlive Owen is Will Graham (no relation to Edward Norton in Red Dragon), a retired tough guy sporting the “Forrest Gump while running across America look”. I figured I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead would easily fall somewhere in the middle. After revenge flicks like Quentin Tarantino’s kung fu epic Kill Bill and a “re-envisioned” adaptation of The Punisher, one would think all the genre bases have been covered, from all out kick ass to total suckitude.
