Noise

Noise movie trailer - starring Ally Sheedy, Giancarlo Esposito, Nicole Hansen, Trish Goff, Michael Ferrara, Dov Davidoff. Directed by Tony Spiridakis. Genre: Drama Rating: Not Rated

Henry Bean ("The Believer") returns to the big screen with a complete rarity in American movies today: a comedy of ideas. David (Oscar-winner Tim Robbins) is a successful lawyer who can't stand the fact that Manhattan is a place where it's too noisy to get a good night's sleep, listen to classical music, or even make love to his wife without disturbance. Every time David hears a car alarm going off, he swings into action. Adopting the guise of The Rectifier, he engages in acts of vandalism that satisfy him immensely but which generate no end of grief from his wife (Bridget Moynahan). They also make him politically controversial when he provokes the ire of the city's arrogant mayor (Oscar-winner William Hurt).

He quietly vandalizes cars whose alarms are going off: lets the air out of a tire, leaves a note on the windshield. This, naturally, has no effect, so he goes further: 'keys' the paint job, cracks a taillight... Eventually he is caught in the act, arrested, spends a night in jail. His wife, shocked to learn what he has been doing, worries the this is irrational behavoir. David understands her
