A Millennial's entertaining version of "Rear Window"

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2020)

After hitting his Spanish teacher, seventeen year-old Kale (Shia Labouf) is sentenced to three months of house arrest and must wear an ankle bracelet to make sure he stays put.
After Mom (Carrie Ann-Moss) literally cuts the cord to other forms of diversion, Kale begins watching his neighbors. The cute new girl (Sarah Roemer) that just moved in the house next door gets most of his attention, but Kale also begins to notice strange happenings at the nearby home of Mr. Turner (David Morse.)
LaBouf's Kale doesn't quite measure up to the standard set by Jimmy Stewart so many years before and the frenetic pace of the film can be annoying. but "Disturbia is still a somewhat entertaining re-telling of "Rear Window" complete with bathroom humor, close-up shots of female rear-ends, and the inevitable use of cell phones and personal computers as plot devices.
