I did not have an appetite due to the postnasal drip running down the back of my throat like a sieve. Nowadays, I probably would have been considered anorexic.

Early Childhood: Skinny, Unattractive, and SicklyĪs a child, I was very thin and clumsy. Although I am not yet recovered, I am much better than I was. This too, I largely resolved with diet, supplements, and alternative therapies, as conventional medicine seemed to make me worse and all that was offered were drugs and/or surgery. Unfortunately, the improvements were short-lived because my thyroid became overactive with onset of Graves’ disease. When I cleaned up my diet, sleep improved. I did not learn until I was 44 years old that my poor food choices were not only affecting my health but my capacity to sleep. I lived on these types of foods for decades as my health declined. It was anything but healthy and it left us feeling empty, with grumbling stomachs and an unsteady blood sugar level.

It would almost make a better educational film than a thriller.My journey into discovering what it means to be well began over 60 years ago, when Coca Cola’s popularity burst on the scene back in the late 60’s early 70’s, when a McDonald’s big Mac could be purchased for 49 cents, and Wonder Bread’s claim to fame was “Helps build strong bodies 12 ways.” Instead of eating a nutritious lunch, we were snookered into believing that bologna, whose first name was Oscar and was sandwiched between two slices of white bread, a Tab soda, and a bag of Charles chips was considered a healthy meal.

As a standard revenge film, it at least adds depth to the meaning of the rape itself, but the rest of the movie suffers because of it. The movie goes into great detail about the possibilities of the circumstances surrounding Davey's rape and the hours that followed, but it pays more attention to the possibilities of its psychological impact on him than it does to developing any momentum or creating interesting characters. Here's an example: in one scene Will is talking to the doctor who performed the autopsy, and he is told that there is evidence that his brother was raped, as well as a disturbing possibility that he may have involuntarily ejaculated, can I say that here? Anyway, Will stares blankly at the doctor during the explanation, then when the doctor stops talking he looks at him and says, 'What are you talking about?' What, was he not paying attention? Maybe it's just bad screen writing or maybe the way the character was written just didn't flow with me, but whatever the case, the rest of the movie is a slow plod through revenge movie clichés that never even tries to do anything new. This is a nitpicky complaint, I guess, but it seems to me that an ex-gangster would have registered some kind of rage while learning about how his brother was driven to sit in a bathtub for 12 hours and then cut his throat. There are times when he is confronted with what must have been extremely painful possibilities about what most likely occurred in the last hours of his brother's life, and he is completely expressionless. Kind of like Sylvester Stallone in Copland. The biggest problem with the movie is not that it's anticlimactic or even that it is such an overall cliché, the problem is that Owen snoozes though the movie in a stolid, half-lidded performance, almost like he's trying to stay awake. Davey is played by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (not to be confused with John Rhys-Davies) in the brief amount of screen time that he spends alive, and for most of the rest of the movie Will Takes Matters Into His Own Hands to investigate what caused his brother's suicide. Clive Owen, probably now known mostly as King Arthur in the also disappointing King Arthur, plays Will, the guy who has Returned From Retirement to avenge the death of his brother, Davey, which was a suicide but which Will believes he was driven to commit. It has to be among the most drab thrillers ever made. I managed to stay awake fairly well, despite the routine story presented in the film and the almost complete lack of any action. His lack of consciousness, however, probably can't be chalked up to the almost intolerable slowness of this movie because I don't think he made it past the opening credits. I found it interesting that the first review I noticed of this movie on the IMDb claimed in the subject line that 'You'll sleep at this movie,' because I rented it last night and watched it at my brother's house, and he was literally asleep within minutes.
