"White Noise" would be White Whisper without Michael Keaton. This new flick reminded me of how much I missed the guy. He and Tim Burton made "Batman" work. A quick change in the mouth, an upshot of eyebrow and Keaton can breathe life into a dull script. Hm - that is exactly what Keaton does here. The screenplay is nothing to write home about, even if you are the author; there are occasional fresh takes on psychic phenomena. Director Geoffrey Sax adds a few nice touches, at least when he stops circling the scene's characters as if the camera were a tailor. DIRECTORS OF TODAY: KNOCK IT OFF! MOVING A CAMERA DOES NOT CONNOTE ACTION IN A FILM. Deborah Kara Unger won my heart with the one-two of "The Game" and especially "Luminous Motion." Here, Deborah ably assists Keaton in spite of taking on a poorly-written role.
White Noise: I could not recommend the film were it not for Ms. Unger and Mr. Keaton. If that is conditional praise, so be it.
