Black Noise

So about ten + years ago various employees of the U. S. Embassy in Cuba were afflicted or attacked by some sonic waves or microwaves. A couple of them died. An investigation concluded that the government of Cuba had been directing a new energy weapon at the embassy.

This movie takes off on that historical footnote and has a team of black ops go to an island to rescue a family that is being attacked by the sonic beams. They find only the wife, and she soon dies, with lots of blood dripping out of her ears.

The rest of the movie is sonic sound effects and what looks like infrared lighting, followed by various members of the rescue team grimacing, moaning, groaning, and having hallucinations.

There is about zero action in this action movie. If you do not want to watch five people looking constipated, groaning, and slapping their heads in pain, then skip this turkey.

Seriously, did the director and cast and all the rest ever watched the movie end to end and said yeah let's release it. It's totally nonsense, beginning to end. The acting, omg I definitely need to try it, bet I cannot do worse than any of the cast.

Do yourself a favor and avoid like plague. I had to sit through it till the end for you, doing God's work. Again, I beg you to not waste time and just 1* this **** so hopefully they learn to do better (I doubt smh)

Can't believe they release this nonsense, who gives money for this **** to be produced, just... I cannot understand, nothing makes sense!!

So, What was the weapon/monster? Don't know.

Why was Alex Pettyfers character late to the initial meeting and what was he recovering from? Don't know. (Gets explained in the last 5 minutes)

Why wasn't Alex pettyfers character affected by the noise? Don't know.

Why could he see the monsters/people/enemy? Don't know

Why were two female soldiers in an elite army unit crying a lot? Don't know.

Made with a micro budget for the weak of mind by extremely untalented people. Why would the actors say yes to this nonsense? Don't know.

No idea why this was green lit, but I will make a note of everyone involved and make sure never to watch anything made by them again.

You can tell that this was a low budget movie by the bad acting. The production was fine, the story has real potential, but the acting is just... mediocre at best. No one, except Alex Pettyfer at times, makes me believe that they are actual soldiers for hire, with a tonne of experience, who know what they're doing, who are hardened by passed missions. It's disappointing that seemingly no one picked up on that during shooting. Even I, as a complete noob, would've picked up on that and suggested that they perhaps hire a few ex military guys to help shape the characters. Instead it gives off the feeling of a group of friends with pretty cool equipment who decided to chill on a beautiful island and "make a movie", their own fun little project.

Rescue mission, sonic mind control, the end. As with all Hollywood action films, same formula since the 1960's. Keep hoping they come up with something NEW. Instead: Rescue, and instead of doing something smart go after the 'why', revenge, everybody dies except the 'hero'. BORING!!!!! In this case Voice on the phone, off grid mission, and absolutely no imagination. The call wants to verify the person, however the person doesn't verify the voice. It's AI from the jump. Then once they get to the mission and the target is dead, they sit around FOR HOURS before they decide they need to get off the island. However, instead of getting off the island, after sitting around for hours, they decide to neutralise the threat. Who cares, get off the island, then figure it out. Stupid, boring, predictable. It only gets 2 for the scenery. If stupid ,boring and predictable is your thing then this is for you.
