A Review: Disturbia

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2009)

Directed by D.J Caruso
With Shia LaBeouf, Sarah Roemer, Carrie-Ann Moss, David Morse
A rebel without a cause(LaBeouf), is locked in his home for being a bad boy in class -own reason to the death of his father -, he falls in loved but also he found that his neighbor is a mad killer ... and police don't believe him. After an impacting and effective introduction, it simply don't knows what it wants to be. There are really thrilling sequences - but few and unplugged to the premise and mood that Caruso has given. The worst is, funny thing, the better thing: The love story. If this were a romantic teen comedy, it would be superb, but at the hour you know it just was an excuse and not something real important. Is not that the two things can't be tied, but here it seems an independent thing from each other. Besides, you now you have heard this before from Hitchcock. If something is good, well, is Shia LaBeouf, who is at least a sweetie and charming but too a real good actor. Caruso takes his star for his next film, "Eagle Eye".
