WOW this was pretty bad

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2007)

This movie, considering its a remake of Rear window, had potential to be good, but it was pretty bad. The first hour of the film shows the main character on house arrest and tries to get across the fact that house arrest is very very boring. We get it, house arrest is boring. There is no reason to focus in on this for that long. Anyway what seems like 4 hours later the main character begins spying on his neighbors to rid himself of boredom (oh boy its exciting now) He comes to the realization that one of his fellow neighbors may be a killer. Well since the first 2/3 of the film focused on house arrest that left no time to focus on what the main plot of the movie supposedly was. So the viewer, after only one stint that may lead one astray, is told the neighbor is the killer. This is then followed by one of the worst filmed scenes in the history of cinema. The director decided it'd be a great idea to film in complete darkness with only a flashlight to provide lighting.....awesome. You can not see anything that is going on in the climax of the film. I don't know about you but I sure love not seeing what is happening at the climax... If you really want to see nonsense do yourself a favor and rent thomas the tank engine or the garbage pale kids instead.
