Sometimes a film's subject matter isn't as interesting as it thinks it is. That is the main problem with White Noise. I do believe that some things in life cannot be proved logically, but that doesn't mean it makes an interesting movie. Michael Keaton plays a man whose wife has recently died and tries to contact her on the other side. The problem with this film is that it runs out of story after about 45 minutes or so. Once he tries to make contact, the movie tries to extend this to a feature length film by having a silly thriller plot line. What the point of this subplot is with the rest of the plot I have no idea. Michael Keaton tries hard, but this film just doesn't work. His character is simply selfish in trying to communicate with the dead by neglecting his son with his obsession. A better movie could have been made if Keaton's character had realized that he must keep on living and try to move on. Instead, the movie tries to make it into a thriller plot line that doesn't belong. A very disappointing film. 3/10
