The black comedy Noise may be a one-joke movie but it's a resonant one.
By Peter Rainer FULL REVIEW

Bean fills in some empty spaces with heady thoughts about the nature of power and beauty, but the movie's real appeal lies in the simple but by no means inconsiderable pleasure of watching Tim Robbins take a hammer to a parked car as it wails pointlessly, deep into the night.

Noise ultimately becomes a slice of city life instead of a great satire.

Bean always writes interesting scripts that toy with big ideas, but the films that result aren't always good. (Or even bearable.) Here he sets out to make an aural "Fight Club," but instead he's made a movie about a guy who really needs to buy earplugs.
By Nathan Rabin FULL REVIEW

Despite its intriguing premise, the movie is a disappointing misfire.
