Review of Noise

Noise (II) (2007)
7/10
interesting, well acted BUT not fully satisfying comedy
23 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Henry Bean both wrote & directed this comedy about (based on his own true experience) a man who take revenge on those blasted car horns & other noise polluters.

Side note:Mr Bean also wrote & directed the excellent Ryan Gosling film THE BELIEVER a few years back. NOISE is his second film, I do hope he plans to make more films. He is talented.

Tim Robbins is very good as this man who is so disturbed that he must act this way,

The story takes place in New York City & that is one NOISY city to begin with.

William Hurt adds another delightful role to his resume as a befuddled Mayor of NYC.

Bridget Moynahan is our hero's not too patient wife & is very good, the entire cast is quite good.

As I stated above, I was not fully satisfied, Its one of those films I can say I liked, but then wonder why.

Maybe it cause I no longer am a New Yorker.

The movie played in few festivals & had a very short theatrical run.

It does warrant my rating but only faint praise.
