I really enjoyed most of this movie. I identify with the main character's (Tim Robbins is delightful and capturing) complete and utter distraction by the car alarms and the horrific head splitting noise that they make. His vigilante antics were funny and inspiring, albeit illegal, but I understand how noise can drive you mad when there is no rest from it. I definitely was rooting for him. The movie stagnated when a menage a trois was thrown in out of nowhere having nothing to do with plot development or understanding the characters better. It didn't add anything to the movie. Instead it took away from the continuity and left me wondering what the point of it was. It seemed like it was from another movie altogether as filler for time purposes. Once that was over and the movie plot resumed, it had a satisfying ending.
