Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

rowmorg The first few minutes of Noise demonstrated the promise that lies in the "basic material": a movie about a noised-out guy who took the law into his own hands. If it had stuck with the theme and explored it more widely, or broken it into various plot-strands, the idea could have carried a feature film. As it is, the picture is spoiled by its one-dimensionality, and pretty girls have to be roped in to - literally - sex it up. Anyone who has ever dreamed of smashing a sledgehammer into a howling car, or firing an Exocet at a passing jetliner, will fancy this title, but sadly it does not live up to its promise. Nevertheless, if you enjoy Tim Robbins, it's a nice outing for him.

A.N. I would have liked this movie to focus on a lot more than car alarms. It shouldn't have been a comedy either, considering the serious stress caused by modern noise.Depending on where you live, car alarms are a variable nuisance, and this movie dwells too much on them. Alarm owners are at least trying to thwart crime, and they ARE effective if the owner is nearby and alert. In a metropolis like NYC where people can't park near their dwellings, I can see how alarms would be more of an uncontrolled problem.This movie makes it seem like nobody is paying attention to their alarms, which isn't true in many cases. It even semi-glorifies a car thief, making the alarm into the bumbling villain.Subwoofer bass is far more deliberate and has become a form of terrorism on those who endure it. This applies to loud stereos in cars, apartments and condos, or nearby homes, which are completely under the control of perpetrators who belligerently treat their abuse as a "right."Noise seems a lot worse when you know some evil scumbag is in direct control of it, and doing it to snub your "right to quiet enjoyment." Noise should be divided into categories of background, incidental and deliberate, with the latter being a felony if repeated too often.

Daniela Enkelmann I picked this movie because I like Tim Robbins. The premise of the movie sounded interesting. While conflicts make for good movies, this one left me somewhat hanging. If he HATES all the noise, move away. But as one character said: You LOVE to HATE the noise. what I didn't understand was the threesome with the other girl... What was that about and what did it have to do with the plot? I'm sure there could have been another way to introduce this girl and have her do her "inner beauty" monologue.... Maybe I didn't fully "get" the movie and all it's ideas. It was interesting, though for the most part and I liked the ending. But it's definitely a DVD rental kinda of movie.

tedg I suppose there are lots of people who believe that their lives are full, interesting, deep and would make a good movie.I also suppose that anyone who thinks so is wrong. Here's one. Some dullard got arrested for breaking into a car to disable its alarm. He then thought he could make a meaningful movie about it and somehow got it financed, with himself as writer/director.The backbone of the story is this guys obsession, which boils down pretty much to anger management. Tacked on are two other story lines, one about a smarmy major. They must have had more planned and possibly shot here because he is played by William Hurt. The other side story is about a woman he spends time with after his wife kicks him out of the house.In a competent writer's hands, these three threads could have been done well. As it happens we have some charming women in weak roles. María Ballesteros has a riveting 30 seconds with a talk about bodily imperfection. Its an almost Mamet segment about inner angels. But the rest of this is a huge waste, just noise.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
