Looking for a movie to rent or Netflix? Don't choose "Noise," a pretty absurd comedy-drama starring Tim Robbins that I watched the other night.
Robbins stars as an Upper West Side yuppie, married to Bridget "Tom Brady's baby momma" Moynihan, who really, really, hates car alarms. Rather than just get over it, or buy an iPod, like most people, he decides to go outside, break into the cars, and cut the power to the alarms. First he does it and gets arrested three times, and then he starts doing it anonymously, calling himself "The Rectifier," leaving stickers on the cars, and becoming a city folk hero.
The plot, let's say, has quite a few holes in it. First, most people who live in New York either stop noticing the noise after while or, if it really bothers them, move to the suburbs or another city. Robbins, for some reason, stays.
But even worse is this- once this anonymous "Rectifier" appears, wouldn't it maybe occur to the police that perhaps it might be the guy who's been arrested on three separate occasions for exactly the same thing, and later tried to sue to ban car alarms? And it appears that every car he cuts off is on his street- doesn't that sort of give away that it's someone who lives nearby?
Then again, it sounds an awful lot like Robbins was playing himself.
