Black Noise

Endless Scenes of Mercs Pointing Rifles Here and There.

The Minimal Amount of Information about just What the Hell is Going On. What is the Mission?... Where are They Going?.

The Movie Gets More Confusing, Ambiguous, and Frustrating as it Unfolds. Things Happen, the Squad Looks and Acts Perplexed. Very Little Discussion about What is Happening or Why it is Happening.

They just Pick Up Their Rifles and Point Here and There Again and Again. Things Similar Happen and They Pick Up and Point Again.

TheY Come Across Someone who Shouts at Them and Pulls a Gun. They Kill the Man and Start Pointing Their Weapons some More.

Weird Sounds, Bleeding from the Ears, a Squad Member Commits Suicide...They Move Along Pointing Their Guns at Nothing that Ever Manifests.

In Fact, Facts Never Manifest about WTF?...the Ending is One of the Most Unsatisfactory Endings in the History of Unsatisfactory Endings.

Nothing is Resolved...Nothing is Explained...The Whole Movie Ends Up Being a Whole Waste of Time.

One Wonders, who was in Charge and just What was the Purpose of Making the Picture.

The Only Real Explanation is that this was a Tax Right-Off for Somebody.

Because the Professionals who Made this Unbelievably Bad Movie Could Not Have Made a Worse Movie if They Tried.

Again, the Ending was LOL Bad and if it Was Not Made that Way on Purpose, as a Joke... Everyone Involved Should be Ashamed. This is just Abysmal Movie-Making.

It Really Doesn't Get Any Worse...At Least Not Without Trying.

Elite team are sent to an island to save a VIP maskman do show up but they are not armed they seem to be drone operators with less information about the island other than that the elites live there. 1911 has the option of being suppressed yet is not it has a night sights which can orange or green. The ending is ambiguous. We will most likely never find out the truth who was behind it or if was Aliens usually I always have a character it gives Exposition like what really is going on we will never know as the film just ends kind of ambiguous as one Lone Survivor leave the island maybe the world.

I'm struggling to find a positive in this debacle. Thankfully it was short and with a cast of maybe a dozen at most, you could memorise the acting credits as some form of twisted party trick.

This was shockingly bad. The acting was marginally better than the plot, which started out fairly promising, but soon descended into farce that left so many questions unanswered.

It's not even one of those films that are so bad that they are bizarrely good or funny in some way. There is no character development, which helps when you get to the point of no return in the film. You know that bit when you've committed to it, and that something niggles inside you to keep the faith, to find out what happens even though you don't care - a sadistic curiosity I guess. So as the story progresses, you don't feel empathetic towards any of them, you don't care if they live, die, walk the dog or win the lottery. You just want it to end. Yes it does end, just not quickly enough.

I will try to be spoiler free, but the TL;DR opinion is it's terrible. Lots of great ideas on an individual basis, but all mashed together into an incomprehensible mess.

The trailer looked downright interesting. A mercenary team hired to pull an extraction from an island reserved for the rich and shameless.

So far, so good, a bit of a mystery backstory why a late addition to the team shows up, but no worries, adds to the intrigue.

Once they get to the island, everything starts falling apart. They are assaulted by some kind of white noise generator that causes them to bleed out of their ears and behave erratically.

There is hints in the film this might be the work of a hostile gov't or possibly ETs. All kinds of hooks and ideas. Again, so far, so good. Acting is acceptable, lighting is good to "interesting" (a fair overuse of gel filters and saturation cranked up to 11...but it's possible it was on purpose to simulate mental breakdown) but the CGI where used (sparingly, thankfully) was truly wretched.

Unfortunately the build-up of the mystery is thrown away in a rush to reach the end where the director and/or writer ran out of ideas and money in a truly dreadful and nonsensical way.

Quite the shame really, a lot of the ideas, taken separately held promise, but somewhere along the line (about 40 minutes into the film) the whole thing fell totally apart.

Skip it, it's dreadful. 3/10 at best.

This is a decent film that combines elements of action and suspense. The story follows an elite security team tasked with rescuing a VIP from an island, but quickly turns into a survival mission against a vague threatening force. The movie delivers a fair share of tension and action, but sometimes struggles with pacing and falls into typical genre clichés. The island setting is visually appealing, though the cinematography is not particularly groundbreaking.

The cast's performances are solid, but they don't always manage to elevate the somewhat predictable script. In essence, "Black Noise" is an average thriller, offering enough suspense and action to keep viewers engaged, but it doesn't venture far beyond the typical conventions of its genre. It's a film that might be enjoyed for a casual viewing, but it doesn't stand out as a memorable cinematic experience.
