I expect nothing but the best from Tim Robbins. Another environmental awareness movie that delivers. This time the pollution is ....... NOISE. I guess the title gives it away. This was a well scripted film that played more of an intimate nature. Watching this , one can get the feeling they are at a small playhouse. Camera angles were excellent. Tim Robbins is for all intent purposes a good person with good moral values , a family man that loves his wife and daughter. For some reason though he is obsessed with unexplainable noises , mostly car alarms that do not go off. He is a noise vigilante and even has a name for himself, that I will not divulge here. Its an intellectual film that is refreshing ,original and creative . Along the way, Mr. Robbins meets supporters and detractors and the plot goes from there. Is he crazy? Is he a hero? ETC. That is the beauty of this film , leading to , what I feel, a wonderful ending that opens up the Pandoras Box for many other questions and discussions. It is a movie that stays with you . My criticisms might be that there were lagging parts of the film lasting from 3-7 or 8 minutes , at a few points in the movie. I also did not exactly care for the back and forth in time frames. If anything , the viewer should have been let in on what made Mr. Robbins tick. Maybe a childhood traumatic experience, screaming parents etc. Still with its few faults this is a well done movie and one that people can actually learn and exercise your mind over a cup of java at a new age , trendy coffee shop or having dinner at a sushi bar.
