too predictable.......

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2007)

First things first, Disturbia was not one of the must intense thriller's of the decade. No doubt Shia LeBouf is on his way to stardom, but even he couldn't save this movies predictable plot. My problem with this movie is almost like every other modern day "thriller/horror" movie. It took way too long to get good, I understand character development as well as having a general plot. But damn, was this a love story with a crazy murderer for a neighbor or was this supposed to keep me on the edge of my seat for the whole hour & a half? I was hoping for a twist, a turn or something shocking. After discovering that his neighbor moved from Texas & the murderer on the news was from Texas, Shia becomes obsessed with watching this guys every move. You spend the whole time wondering if this suspicious creepy neighbor is in fact the murderer from the news & wow it is! The last 20 minutes was cool but the previous hour was not worth siting through just to get to that point. Again, not taking away from Shia's acting, but dude if you want to be taken as a serious actor & be the next big thing you should pick your scripts a bit better.
