Don't believe the hype

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2007)

A passable version of Rear Window for the text-messaging generation.
Shia LaBeouf has a regular guy quality about him. If he can keep on an even keel, he will mature into a successful leading player and not join the legion of tooth pick thin androgenistas who loiter about movie and TV screens.
The glibness that seems to be commonplace in dialogue of these types of movies are so distracting. LaBeouf handled it well, but there were times when it diminished the intensity as the story was trying to build.
Bottom line-if you're from the text messaging generation, I respectfully suggest that you give this a miss and see the actul original.
Jim...Jim...Jimmy Stewart is no Shia LaBeouf but you owe it to yourself to compare.
