Outdated. Absurd at times.

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2011)

Alfred Hitchcock was the king of suspense. But fact is, the excitement and thrill which his movies used to produce back then in the time when entertainment was minimal and unexplored doesn't even live to up half of its original now. The methods to decipher and go through a case looks pale now.
Rear window is a creative outlook in movie making. But there ain't anything special about the rest. It's heroics of a jobless injured protagonist causing a break through. May be a hard to miss movie, if the purpose is to build a list of classics watched.
The ratings are too generous. The movie is dry and goes into the obvious. Boring.
