Entropy (I) (1999)
1/10
It may drive you to kill someone
26 July 2002
I watched ten minutes and forced myself to stop. I had so much hate for those who created and funded this movie, and I was afraid I would take it out on nearby innocent people who were not supporting the dissemination of this film. The script is horrible; while I cannot quote the dialogue specifically (mind clouded by hate and all), I remember cringing from the first line onward. And then there is the narrative style- which I think works when the character is extremely likable (Ferris Bueller) or extremely verbal (High Fidelity), but just does not go over so well when the main character is just self-obsessed and painfully annoying. I also saw the coffee shop scene, and agonized over what was causing me to poke at my eyes with a fork- was it the inane dialogue or the lifeless acting of that woman? Perhaps I will never be sure. I turned the TV off right after Dorff turns to the camera during their `love' scene, as it was the straw that broke the camel's back, and I think my remote control when I threw it at the television. Maybe it gets better.maybe it starts over after ten minutes? I only hope that there is a reason for other people liking this film. I love Bono as much as the next guy, but neither God nor Bono could save the soul of the writer/director responsible for this abomination.
