i have be use imdb for a few year now and but have never write any review before . however and this movie so disappointed me ( even with a modest score of 6 . 4 at the time of write ) that i couldn not keep quiet anymore . noise be the story of a new yorker ( tim robbins ) who be so perturb by noise pollution that he take on an alter ego as a a a vigilante and the rectifier and and vandalize any car he find with a car alarm sounding . i take the name of the movie to be somewhat of a misnomer . although there be one or two instance of other source of noise be address or mention and the only true focus of our protagonist be car alarm . car alarm and car alarm and car alarm . there be really no other focus . when the movie try to tie other example of noise pollution to the problem of car alarm and it seem to be just throw in to give merit to the action of robbins character . yes and be all annoy by noise . nobody like the sound of car alarm . of course we all have that internal urge to take a baseball bat to a shrieking vehicle and and this movie use that fact and and pretty much that fact alone and to sell this movie . i say pretty much because there be also a blatantly contrive sexual relationship ( include a completely needless threesome ) which be obviously throw in for those movie goer who need such thing throw in in order to enjoy a movie . honestly and it eye roll . robbin character and very shortly into the movie and become completely unrelatable . it seem less that he decide not to put up with the noise anymore and and more that by focus so much on the noise he have begin to lose his sanity . the first half of the movie be essentially the story of how he turn from just an angry and car bashing dude into this hero of the little guy and the rectifier . however . the transformation doesn not take place . he just rename himself . i could go on for a while . annoy generalize social commentary come in every now and then to add to the pretentiousness of the movie and and the self satisfy smirk which never quite leaf robbins face doesn not help either . overall and i think it very obvious what this movie be try to be and a it pretty much shove down your throat and but in my opinion and it fail in a big way . just one guy opinion and cheer .
