YMMV / I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Go To

  • Ambiguous Criminal History:

    • We know Will was a gangster, sold drugs, and we know he used violence to handle his business prior to his mental breakdown. We also know Turner is afraid of Will coming back. These are the only details given.
    • Arnie is at first hesitant to tell Will what Davey had been doing, but eventually reveals that he was just selling drugs at inflated prices to rich college students, and that the actual gangsters left him alone since they were merely amused by him. This is potentially a lie, as Turner was willing to drive Mickster to Davey's flat just to check in on him.
  • Anti-Climax Boss: Will struggles with how far he's willing to go for vengeance throughout the film, and even tortures lesser gangsters for information regarding the man who raped his brother. When we finally get to the showdown, he simply shoots Boad in the head.
  • Anvilicious: Rape is bad.
  • Designated Love Interest: When Will calls to tell Helen to pack, she asks him, "Just like that?" Up until this point, she has told him that he hurt her too much when he left her the last time, and he has stated he was only in town for Davey's funeral.
  • Stoic Woobie: Will.
