    Mike Hodges' gritty new film noir I'll Sleep When I'm Dead begins in enigma and snakes its way into stark clarity.

    A consuming and stimulating work and a theoretical thriller, it is a film which could only be created by a remarkably skillful filmmaker.

    The result is a revenge thriller that's too taken with its own ambience to actually thrill.

    Clive Owen is on smouldering form as a retired gangster reluctantly drawn back to London to find out why his brother died. Slow-paced, but intense, with a low-key but believable finale, a nice performance from a grave-faced and dignified Charlotte Rampling and, unusually, Rhys-Meyers playing to his strengths as the callow brother overcome with humiliation. Arguably Owen has the presence to elevate even the most pedestrian movie into something interesting but there's enough going on amongst the other players to keep the attention throughout.… Expand

    I agree with Brian G. I had high hopes for this movie and boy was I disappointed.
