shia labeouf--disturbia--great!

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2007)

Disturbia, maybe a teen thriller, maybe a insight on an over shadowed life. Shia LaBeouf, maybe the cutest guy on earth, maybe a bloody good actor. Disturbia was a little creepy, a little sneaky and a little funny. And as for the cast, a little intimidating. It was a very lonely film at the start, but it warmed up to a film that is typically teenager aimed. Kale (Shia LaBeouf), a lonely kid who lost his father at maybe his own expense, gets home detention after punching his teacher out (lovely i know) finds 'constructive' things to do, one of them being spying on your neighbours. From kids watching age restricted programmes, affairs while wives go to tennis to a killer who suddenly turns up in your house with your mother. But of course, you can't spy on this killer on your own, or get evidence when your sentenced to your home or else. There has to be a girl involved, namingly Ashley (Sarah Roemer) who spends most of her time on the roof of her house than actually in her house, more time in a pool than on her roof and more time with Kale trying to catch the killer than she does in the pool (arent i just clever). The whole movie is carried by the excellent performances of Shia, Sarah and David and a bit of thrilling nail biters. It was really awesome in the sense that it's almost a remake of a Hitchcock classic. To end it, a must see!
