Film Review – Black Noise

Three people are credited as screenwriters for “Black Noise,” and it’s a movie that’s primarily made up of scenes where characters are walking around with weapons in their hands, silently making their way through various environments. There’s some type of alien invasion story in play here, but the actual film doesn’t pay much attention to it, instead trying to reach a sellable run time with the least amount of drama possible while the cast and crew enjoy tropical locations. Sean-Michael Argo, Leigh Scott, and Philippe Martinez (who also directs) aren’t motivated to do much of anything with “Black Noise,” which provides a simple overview of survival, with an extraction team coming up against an unknown force in St. Maarten. There’s some attempt at emotion and action, but nothing is pursued in full, with the endeavor feeling like a half-completed offering of sci-fi entertainment. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
