A while back, I hit you with a poster for the Tim Robbins black comedy called NOISE, about a man who goes bonkers over all the incessant sound in New York City, and decides to do something about it, vigilante-style. When I found out the director behind this interesting project, I was taken aback. It’s Henry Bean, who in 2001 directed a gold-standard indie film called THE BELIEVER, where Ryan Gosling played a Jewish skinhead. This is the man’s first movie since then, and it couldn’t feel more different. Check out the trailer BELOW.

When Bruce Willis makes a Die Hard movie about kicking ass for the US of A it kind of makes sense considering his personal political views.
