One year after the death of his father in a car accident (of which he feels a little responsible), Kale is found prisoned at his house for three months after he hits his Spanish teacher. A GPS around ankle, he cannot move away from his place without the police coming in the second. His mother being with work and having cut out XBox Live, iTunes and TV, Kale finds a great occupation in the espionage of his neighbors. After discovering that one neighbor cheats his wife, that some 7 years old kids listen to porn films without their mother knowing it and that another neighbor is really too cute in bikini in her swimming pool, he also finishes by suspecting a man of the neighborhood of being a dangerous serial killer. With the assistance of the beautiful and sexy side neighbor and his weird and Asian best friend, he will try to prove his theories. Is Mr. Turner really a criminal or is it Kyle who ended up imagining too many things by being locked up at his place since too much time?
OK, I also had an impression of déjà vu by reading the synopsis, but my 3 favorites clerks at the video club all said to me that it was really excellent, then I took the chance, comforting myself with the opportunity that in the worst case, if the movie was awful, I would just look at Shia Labeouf on fast forward mode And I did not need the fast forward move finally, I could look at Shia on normal speed, because Disturbia is really a very good film. A very well done suspense, a story, yes, a little foreseeable if you wanna guess it too much, but if you take it the relax way and that you let the final punch come to you instead of looking for it, that really is diverting. It is also a little "teen movie" which I did not hate. But attention! it is nevertheless not as bad as stupid scary movies like House of wax or whatever! I swear it's not! The 3 main actors are really great (Shia Labeouf "Kale", Sarah Roemer "Ashley" and Aaron Yoo "Ronnie"). Cheers to the music, really nice! And, finally, a very particular attention to the french kiss about 1 hour after the beginning GRRrr!!
