The archive interviews with Strummer and the people who actually knew him were informative and pretty cool. Unfortunately you've got to sit through a lot of hobo camp-style interviews (who's idea was the campfire? Really) with a bunch of pretentious shitbags (does anyone seriously give a shit what Johnny Depp thinks of The Clash? Really?) who come close to making The Future is Unwritten unwatchable.

Stylish but meandering documentary from director Julien Temple gets off to an intriguing start - with some insightful interviews and clever incorporation of footage - but it fails to sustain its energy. Joe Strummer is an interesting subject, and there's a lot of great music, but this unfortunately turns out to be a an only modestly compelling "rockumentary".
