Plot:
After his father’s accidental death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) remains withdrawn and troubled. When he lashes out at a well-intentioned but insensitive teacher, he finds himself under a court-ordered house ...( read more

I honestly don't like Shia LaBeouf as an actor, but this movie (an obvious remake of Rear Window) was actually pretty good.
'Rear Window' with ipods, computers, and high schoolers...in the suburbs. The filmmakers have robbed from cinematic history in order to spit on its grave. That remakes, banal adaptations, and sequels dominate the cinematic landscape only serves to show that Cinema is dead, for films of this ilk have killed it.
Even more reprehensible was painting the serial-killer as one of those American liberals "who wants to be left in peace" so he can freely, in the privacy of his own home, slaughter innocent women. Those foul serial-killing lefties, who attack the 'culture of paranoia' in America. Could it be an argument against the right to privacy in favour of American security? Besides this despicable theme, the film replicates the classic "boy wants girl, boy gets girl" trope, the world finally put in order thanks to the heroism of spying on your neighbours...it calls to mind 1984, certain totalitarian regimes, etc.
Disturbia also seems to play on our fascination with "decoding" the mysterious lives of those who live around us but we never really get to know, the paranoiac over-investment of significance in every event outside the window. Suffice to say, the powerful psychoanalytic intelligence behind 'Rear Window' is nowhere to be found, except in the ability of this film to market itself to everyone and no-one.
Horrible. I could have just watched a CSI episode and a horny teenager watching a girl undress if I wanted to see something like it.
the first 50 minutes of the movie was pretty slow and parts could have been missed out. However after that things picked up and i thought it was a really good movie!
I had wrong prejudgements of this movie. I thought it was a teeny bopper movie but it turned out to be completely different and really good!!! Don't miss it!

I was actually expecting this movie to be somewhat a hybrid of 'I know what you did last summer', kinda like a flick that's tipping more on the slasher/mediocre acting side. The kind of film that you just watch because you're bored and got nothing else to do. I wasn't expecting white-knuckle tension and I didn't plan on taking this movie seriously but I got more than I barqained for. The taut atmosphere got to me and I was surprised that I wasn't disappointed by this film. I was actually blown away more by Shia's performance in this movie than by his performance in Transformers.
i like the twist of the story..and every teenager can relate to this movie!lolz and ahsley roemer is so hot!!!after all, shia labeouf is 1 of my favorite actor.."two thumbs up"esp the ost, the taper jean girl...
