Review of Disturbia (2007) by Sam S — 26 Jul 2014
I enjoyed this more than I expected too. As a thriller it's very predictable, yet it still works borrowing and updating Rear Window in a clever way. Shia LaBeouf plays a teen sentenced to house arrest who becomes convinced (through boredom) that his neighbor (played by a super creepy David Morse) is a serial killer.
He does a great job, the kid can act and I liked his interaction with the entire cast. There are some laughs and a bit of romance with the girl next door and I felt like this showed teens in a realistic way.
The opening scene with the car accident is shocking and brutal. It does fall apart a bit in the last 15 minutes but still a great ride.7/23/14.
