One of the most suspenseful films of all-time!

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2008)

Rear Window is easily one of, if not the finest crafted mystery suspense/thriller of all-time. The story is about a man who is confined to a wheelchair within his apartment for eight weeks. During those eight weeks the man takes up the hobby of watching his neighbors through his window, and eventually he witnesses what he believes to be a murder.
The film was directed by the amazing Alfred Hitchcock, who is easily the greatest filmmaker of all-time. Hitchcock gave this film the proper amount of comedy, romance, and suspense to keep the audience enthralled; a large component in his achieving this though came through the magnificent script. The script features tight, witty dialogue that never falls flat, and flows at a pace that only a classic such as this can achieve. Of course the film would be nothing without its cast, Jimmy Stewart alongside the beautiful Grace Kelly, both are stellar actors and deliver pitch perfect performances, as well as the rest of this small, yet flawless cast.
It is rare for their to be a film that is so timeless, this film is just as entertaining today as when it was released in the fifties. No matter how much people try to re-emulate the film for modern age, they always fall flat. Rear Window is a true classic through and through, and is easily worth seeing.
I give Rear Window a flawless 10 out of 10!
