Review of Entropy

Entropy (I) (1999)
7/10
for U2 fans
11 February 2004
Here is an underrated movie that only some U2 fans had the opportunity to watch. It is a kind of autobiography of the director Phil Joanou, a great video director who had some success with U2 videos like "One" or "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses", but never had the same luck in the movies. "Three O'Clock High" is a very funny, "U2 - Rattle and Hum" is pretty cool, but that's all he made. When he went to big studios to direct Hollywood stars, he lost control. That's what "Entropy" is all about. Joanou finds himself in Stephen Dorff's character, and adds romance to the story. Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam, from U2, act like themselves and are the angels that guide Dorff through his mysterious ways. Dorff does a very good job, and the supporting cast has nice surprises like Lauren Holly, Kelly McDonald and Hector Elizondo. If you're an U2 fan, if you like Phil Joanou and Stephen Dorff and if you like movies that talk about movies, don't lose this one. You'll be surprised.
