Nick Hamm's Killing Bono, penned by four separate screenwriters, is the story of what would charitably be called a wackadoo. The film in fact begins with said wackadoo going over the milestones of a career that is not his but rather that of the titular humanitarian-cum-rockstar, whom he promptly attempts to assassinate. Such actions are those of a particularly heinous lunatic, but there is something amiss in the way Hamm presents all this from the very beginning. There is a sense that Hamm has a certain affinity for this young man, whom we later meet as Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes). This affinity seems to white-out the fact that this central character is very little more than an irredeemable egomaniacal brat.
