Rear Window for the Xbox generation

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2012)

Now this is an example of why we all like Shia Labeouf. He just plays it all very naturally. The nice thing is all his co-stars do as well. Who wouldn't want Carrie-Anne Moss for a mom?
Arbitrary intro to my review aside, this film is definitely very entertaining and quite solid. It's got nice performances by the lead and the supporting actors. David Morse certainly pulls off the cold and calculating freak next door well. Aaron Yoo and Sarah Roemer do a good job as Shia's friends. This movie also does a nice examination on the subject of voyeurism. Hopefully Hitchcock would be proud.
My complaints to this film, I feel are minor. Such as some clichéd character actions, and a few cheesy lines of dialogue here and there. And darn it I just don't get the character development I like from more modern movies that often. But oh well, it's still a worthy film.
