NYC resident David Owen (Tim Robbins) is really a pretty decent fellow, but much to the dismay of his wife Helen (Bridget Moynahan), he's gone all vigilante because the noise of the city is driving him crazy -- particularly car security alarms.
Owen takes it upon himself to bust out car windows, reach in to pop the hoods, then cut through the alarm cables to silence them. He's grown tired of how everyone else, including the cops, ignore the deafening sounds.
The media dubs him "The Rectifier" and he becomes somewhat of a hometown hero to others who are sick of the noise. He even takes on the scurrilous Mayor Schneer (William Hurt).
William Baldwin, Ekaterina Filippovna, Lou Carbonneau, David Margulies, Helen Hanft also appear.
This story is based on Henry Bean's true experiences; he not only wrote the screenplay, he also directed this film.
Run time: 1 hour, 58 minutes
Not rated my MPAA.
My personal rating: B
