Abstract
Starring:
Tim Robbins, William Hurt
Review:
What if a New Yorker got so pissed off at noise on the streets that
he transformed himself into "the Rectifier" and took action against
car alarms? Writer-director Henry Bean, the master behind The
Believer, is that man. But instead of turning vigilante, he
made a movie about it, put in Tim Robbins as the Rectifier and
William Hurt as the mayor who opposes him, and worked out
variations on a theme. It's wickedly amusing for a little bit
— Robbins and Hurt really get into it — but ultimately
the film becomes what it's fighting: just noise.
