My First Time to Cheer On The Evil Guy !

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2010)

It's not the worst movie ever made. It's one of the worst movies ever made. And I have my reasons.
Original: This is Rear Window meets Columbo meets MacGyver meets Mission Impossible meets Poltergeist meets American Beauty meets Dracula (I hoped for Dracula to come soon and get rid of the 3 leads!).
Cleverly acted: (Aaron Yoo) as (Ronnie) was the gayest portrayal for non-gay person in the history of cinema. Let alone how this human was a complete BAD JOKE; from the terrible actor he is, to the worst sidekick he did!
"She's Alive, She's Alive!": (Sarah Roemer) doesn't have the talent; I can stand the electric chair, but not her again. And she doesn't have the spirit; she oozes silliness all the way. So her appearances were truly hurting my soul. I don't know how anybody in the world may fall for her like that?!
Emotional: The monologue that (Shia LaBeouf) says about the things that he loves about his girl was absolute A-level nonsense from start to finish. Something was deeply wrong in the acting, in the directing, in the writing, or with the 3 of them. For instance, both of the actors don't know how to act or to convince, the directing was extremely low, and the "How am I?" line was super provocative!
Suspenseful, Logical and Unpredictable: What a clumsy script. The whole thing was nothing but empty circle that hands in to another. The word "thriller" just doesn't apply to most of the events. And the rest has some of the most dumb, unexplained and weak events; aside from full video security system and such an expensive other devices, (Shia LaBeouf) got the blueprints of his neighbor's house before and after the modifications? (maybe he's an underage undercover CIA agent!), his desperately dullard friend loses his cell phone then brings it back just like that? (Maybe he's a magician!), the killer lost it and wanted it to kill them all (how to hide all of this mess?!), (LaBeouf) finds a wig in (David Morse)'s flat, then whispers terrified: "The girl never left!", so did (Morse) get to wear a long wig and a woman dress, faking his victim's leaving?? (Well, I couldn't care less!), and finally here's this guy, killing half of the city's women, living in the same city, while having the same suspected, so rare, car, and nobody ever doubted him?? (maybe he's a character in a bad Hollywood movie!). Just forget all of that, and think mainly how this movie made it so impossible for us to guess who the killer was!
Fast-Paced: The shoddy dealing with the lead's flat, the awfulness of the acting, and the ACTORS, the easiness of the story, then the repellent *unbelievable* romantic story within the main story, all of that destroyed the movie's character as a thriller, and created a pure sense of bore. To tell you the truth, for ¾ of the movie, I felt the tedium as a train coming out of the screen to hit me. After the Action Thriller, the Horror Thriller, and the Psychological Thriller, (Disturbia) puts a new kind of thriller indeed; The Boring Thriller!
Thoughtful: Why not to make a better twist at the end? Say, for instance, that these guys were after the wrong neighbor all along. Say, for another, that they'd be all proved wrong at the end; being deluded by their incredibly empty time, paranoid and dull to the extent of imagining a fake tale about their beloved neighbor, where there was no killer in this suburbia at all. That would have been more suitable, or at least less predictable than the idiocy that I watched where the lead kills the killer and wins the girl. By the way, I'm so sure that the audience applauded crazily in the theaters by that moment, not out of being happy that the good won, but because they would finally go home!
Disappointing: I wished all the time that these guys go to jail, be killed,.. etc. but no such luck. I was cheering up the evil guy to finish them, but he was that feeble to get beaten and by the hands of (Shia LaBeouf)!
Any Good?: I won't forgive myself for this, but the best things about this movie were its first 15 minutes, the shot in which the lead and Gwyneth Paltrow's younger unbearable sister jumped from a roof to a swimming pool, and the fact that I didn't watch it in cinema; I know that it could have had small shocks there, with the Dolby sound effects and music. But of course, after experiencing it only on TV, I feel SO LUCKYYYYYYYYYY!
Forever!: (Steven Spielberg) believes in (LaBeouf) as great upcoming star. According to what I watched for him so far, I don't. So why we had to be tortured in the way?!! While (Spielberg), as the executive producer of this trash, loves a line from it that says: "Operation Stupid is officially over", sorrowfully a lot of innocent people will run into this movie on TV or else, to suffer watching it again; so the bigger "Operation Stupid" won't be officially over. However, and thank God, it is for me!
Finally a Question: Does the lead's friend (Ronnie) die? OK. I think it can be figured out that he really died since they were celebrating at the end!
