Bloody Bono

Killing Bono (2011)

Very loosely based on a real story of music journalist Neil McCormick this is a film from Northern Ireland. Having gone to school with U2 and a young man tries to make his way in the music business resenting his friends success and consistently failing to amount to anything himself.

The title of this film is really a gimmick to get people into the cinema and more about a struggling rock career of two brothers. Having been “tricked” into watching the film the plot offers little of real interest and starts to drag towards the end. About the only reason to watch this film is that it is the final film appearance of Pete Postlethwaite otherwise it is really hard to find any redeeming features.

2/5
