COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Police thriller that isn't submitted by irenzero on June 28, 2011, 4:43pm Set in Melbourne Australia, Noise is the story of one Police Officer Graham McGahan is suffering from tinnitus during the Holidays, and as there has just been a shooting on a train and a brutal murder he is assigned to light duty rather than put on sick leave. This isn't a procedural as much as a film about what is heard and what is well, noise. In addition to the great performances, the film looks great and is well written.... but it's the sound design that is the real star here, playing with volume and perception and allowing the viewer to experience what McGahan can and can't hear. Highly recommended.
