... it seems as though Boyer started out wanting to document a struggling band's rise to stardom and quickly lost interest in them at the sight of a more famous personality.

...it's difficult to overlook the film's sporadic bursts of effectiveness (including, of course, the infamous episode in which Sutherland drunkenly tackles a Christmas tree).
06/04/07
elusive and distant
01/01/07
A home movie masquerading as a feature documentary.
10/03/06
Top CriticIt doesn't seem like a single scene was filmed without the main characters being aware that the cameras were on, and there is almost no dramatic tension.
09/29/06
Even when he looks like a complete dolt, Sutherland still comes off sympathetically, as a cool guy.
09/20/06
I Trust You to Kill Me has enough virtues -- principally Sutherland's presence and the quality of the music -- to make it an enjoyable trip.
09/15/06
Top CriticHe's cute, the film's cute and the band's more than competent. What more do you want from something like this?
09/15/06
A rather standard out-on-the-road rock doc except for one unique and under-explored twist: The 24 star, after signing the band to his label, impulsively decided to accompany them on this barnstorming adventure as their tour manager.
09/14/06
Boyer dutifully follows Sutherland and the band around hotels, and documents a series of shows, devoting generous screen time to DeLuca's tormented repertory, but overall the drama stays between the lines.
09/08/06
At its frequent best, the artfully crafted doc earns respect as an insightful and arresting behind-the-scenes look at what any band must endure to make that first lunge at the brass ring.
09/08/06
Top CriticThat Rocco DeLuca and the Burden are attached to Kiefer Sutherland is the only discernible reason for the existence of Manu Boyer's inconsequential documentary.
09/08/06
Top CriticMore vanity project than full-fledged film, Manu Boyer's modest chronicle is best left to diehard Kiefer Sutherland fans.
09/08/06
Perhaps you are wondering why a little-known band called Rocco DeLuca and the Burden merits a glossy feature-length documentary of its whirlwind European tour. After watching Manu Boyer's film, you may still wonder.
09/05/06
A European tour by Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, an utterly generic blues-rock bar band that Sutherland thinks is brilliant, is the subject of the film.
