A modern and very effective update on "Rear window"

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2007)

In "Rear window" the main character (Jimmy Stewart) was bound to a wheelchair because of an accident! In "Disturbia" the main character is restricted because of his house arrest (assigned by the court after hitting his teacher! An alarm is attached to his leg! When he crosses the set boundaries the police will be warned.)! Not having much do to he starts spying on his neighbors! The story never gets boring and even when you know that something worse is going to happen the tension never lets down! I think this can be credited to very likable characters! With special mention of Shia LaBeouf! He really carries the movie! From the start you will be on his side and never doubt him! David Morse does a good job in convincing that he is a creep! "Disturbia" is a very entertaining thriller that successfully updates a (Hitchkock)classic!
