DISTURBIA (2007) - Mar. 10, 2009
A better-than-average thriller about a kid under house arrest who begins to suspect that shenanigans are afoot with one of his neighbours. It's a loose remake of Rear Window, and though it's obviously not on that level, it's surprisingly effective. David Morse gives a nicely sinister performance as the neighbour, and Shia LaBeouf is good in the lead role. The film takes its time setting everything up, which just makes it all the more effective once the thrillerish elements really start to kick into gear. Thumbs up. ***1/2
