Kiefer Sutherland’s Rockumentary Reviewed
I admit I only saw about half of Kiefer Sutherland’s rockumentary I Trust You to Kill Me because I fell asleep, but what I did see was quite interesting. Getting a glimpse into Kiefer’s life outside of 24 was refreshing. Here’s what someone at the Seattle Times thought of it:
If nothing else, watch the rockumentary "I Trust You To Kill Me" to see a drunken Kiefer Sutherland tackle a Christmas tree.
It’s the film’s defining moment, capturing the tipsy fun — and frustration — of the "24" actor’s tour through Europe last winter with his indie music label’s first signee, Rocco DeLuca and the Burden.
Airing Saturday on VH1 and out on DVD in January, the movie revolves around twin themes of pain and fame. DeLuca’s music, and Sutherland’s struggle with his own celebrity and emotions, are equally haunting.
The tackle in question comes after the band’s underwhelming performance to an underwhelmed crowd at the Borderline club in London. Band members and Sutherland, acting as their road manager, are drinking away their pain when something snaps in Kiefer’s mind.
His explanation for the bizarre behavior: He’s craved attention ever since he was young. Duh! What actor hasn’t?
But Sutherland, treating the camera as a therapist at times, is captivatingly introspective. He recalls repeatedly banging his head into walls in order to watch his famous, often-absent father, Donald Sutherland, laugh in response.
Later, Sutherland makes another strange move — getting "I Trust You To Kill Me," also the name of the band’s CD, tattooed on his right forearm in Icelandic runes. He tells the camera, in effect, that the tattoo is part of him growing away from toppling trees or banging heads, finally becoming his own man at age 39. Read the rest of the article here
