Just a dumb, teen thriller

Rating: 3/10 (10 November 2007)

Disturbia is a good example of a modern day, dumb teen thriller. It pretty much rips off Rear Window.
The plot is very simple. A troubled teen called Kale Brecht (Shia LaBeuof)is living under house arrest and is convinced that his next door neighbor is a serial killer after spying on a girl that he likes. He becomes obsessed of unraveling the truth and in the end it becomes a matter of life and death.
Overall, this was an average film. It had cheesy moments and it was rather dumb. The acting was fairly decent though. It did have some tense moments but other than that it just didn't really work out for me.
I will be generous and give it a 2.5/5.
