An elegant, psychologically interesting film noir-like thriller about a man taking revenge for his dead brother.
Clive Owen gives one of his better performances as the loving brother, an ex-gangster who returns to London after learning about his brother's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) suicide. With a little help from Charlotte Rampling and Jamie Foreman, he finds out that his brother's been raped shortly before by Malcolm McDowell...
Luckily, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" takes its time for excellent character and story development. Therefore, some may find it a little slow-moving, but due to the overall solidly acting cast, nice locations (Wales and SW9 in London) and gripping story, it's still very good entertainment.
