i understand that the new movie disturbia be about a person who be unable to leave his room and must look out the window for entertainment . during his peeping session and he find that his neighbor might be a killer and by do so and try to get everyone around him to help find out the truth . that premise and and that premise alone and be the only thing that liken this movie to alfred hitchcock masterpiece of tension and technical genius and rear window . director d. j. caruso have take this script and no credit list to the writer of that classic and and create a contemporary world around which he can create a cat and mouse chase from the small radius that our protagonist be allow to travel within have a house arrest anklet affix to his leg . if the critic be to be believe that this be a ripoff or remake and then every romantic comedy come down the pipeline be one as well . boy meet girl and boy must win girl and conflict cause relationship to stay strained and boy ultimately win girl . actually since every rom com follow that exact plot sketch and they be more derivative than disturbia to rear window because caruso take a premise and update it and and make it his own . worry that this might end up a another lame duck attempt from the director and i do not have too lofty of expectation . i be a fan of shia labeouf and ever since his even stevens day and and know he could give it credibility . fortunately and after the highly disappointing take life and the ho hum two for the money and it seem caruso have come back to the form he have with his brilliant debut salton sea . maybe it be the recent work on the shield and but we have some nice grit and close up composition and and stylish camera work . the realism from sea be back and disturbia brings it all to make one of the most entertaining film i have see this year . we have fantastic humorlabeouf delivery and everyman rapport lend to this wellas well a effective scare and edge of your seat suspense . this be a pg 13 movie that know what it be and rather than titillate with coming a close to the line a possible and stay in check and deal out a healthy dose of mood and emotion rather than blood and sex . i would even go as far a say sarah roemer girl next door be the most sensual role this year . it be all about her confidence and eye and her body language make it work and and you fall for her just a labeouf do and whereas the usual r rat nudity and over the top craziness have be go so far a to numb audience by do what every film now do . credit caruso for show restraint for everything and lead u along by uncover piece of the story only when we need to know them . besides labeouf and roemer and and a funny turn from aaron yoo and the main driving force here be david morse . this gem of a character actor be at the top of his game a the villainous and do he or do not he and neighborhood serial killer . he be good a the conflicted heavy who do wrong only when the world around him have force him to and ( like in dancer in the dark and down in the valley ) and but he be perfect a the all out creepy and sly smile force be accuse of kidnapping and kill numerous woman . morse be allow to run free and he take the opportunity and go even far with it . where many suspense film like this would become laughable eventually and the realism bring out through labeouf and morse keep the audience enthral and interested in how everything will play out . i be never bore and at time actually wonder what would happen next because i be so catch up . when the climax come and i actually be surprised think it be crazy that they would get u there so early and but i be just so into it that i do not realize how much time have past . disturbia be a genre film and would not be win any award any time soon . what it may lack in total originality it more than make up for in mood and effective thrill . it have everything you could want from a movie without make you have to think too much . sit down and go for the ride and walk out of the theatre with the knowledge that your time be well spend . d. j. caruso and thank you for redeem yourself .
