Easing the Boredom While Under House Arrest
One thing is sure.  "Disturbia" now joins "Wrestling With Ernest Hemingway," "The Saint of Fort Washington," and "The Twonky" as one of the worst titles ever.  Concocting a new word is an obvious attempt to create an aura of mystery over what is at heart a by-the-book melodrama.  Fortunately, the film itself is better than its dimwitted title suggests.<br /> "Disturbia" is best described as a thriller, though the thriller part doesn't kick in until about halfway through the film.  The best thrillers have always been popular with audiences because they combine an intriguing story and charismatic characters with suspense, the ingredient that holds them together.  "Disturbia" follows that pattern.<br /> Kale (Shia LaBeouf) has been put under house arrest because he attacked his Spanish teacher.  The court orders that he remain confined to his house for three months.  A bracelet attached to his ankle monitors his movements in and immediately outside his home.  If he goes beyond a certain point, the police will be notified and they will come a-running.<br /> Initially, Kale vegetates, playing video games on his X-Box, watching TV, turning his room into a personal disaster area, eating globs of peanut butter drenched with chocolate syrup, and longing for contact with his friends.  Kale's mom (Carrie-Anne Moss) -- disgusted by the way Kale views his court-ordered incarceration as a romp -- cuts off his electronic entertainment, insisting that the vacation is over.<br /> With nothing else to do, Kale takes to watching his neighbors.  There's Mr. Turner (David Morse), whose habits are routinized and predictable; new move-in neighbors Ashley (Sarah Roemer) and her family; and a pack of unruly, irksome kids who delight in tormenting Kale.<br /> Once director D. J. Caruso establishes the characters and sets the plot in motion, he switches gears when Kale believes he's seen Mr. Turner engage in very suspicious behavior.  Kale involves best friend Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) and Ashley in his suspicions, placing all three of them in danger.<br /> "Disturbia" owes much to Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window."  In that film, Jimmy Stewart -- immobilized by a broken leg -- passes the time by spying on his neighbors when he believes he's seen evidence that a man across the courtyard has murdered his wife.<br /> "Disturbia" scales down the characters to teenagers to attract a young audience, and that's fine.  And though Mr. LaBeouf is no Jimmy Stewart, he is a likable actor whose naturalness suggests a sort of Everyman teen.  Imperfect, troubled, shackled  -- both physically and parentally -- he must act against considerable odds to reveal the truth about a mild-mannered neighbor.<br /> La Beouf is effective as Kale, making "Disturbia" an enjoyable viewing experience.  His acting is natural, his mannerisms appropriate and thought-out. He projects arrogance, anger, nervousness, embarrassment or fear, as required, and does so believably.  Since he is not yet overly familiar to movie audiences, he registers as a real kid who gets himself into a situation that spins out of control.<br /> Morse continues his career as a sinister, threatening, dangerous individual as Mr. Turner.  Soft-spoken, with kind eyes, his menace is conveyed not through overtly but by deliberate, psychological terror.<br /> What disappointed me most about "Disturbia" is its very predictable third act, which follows the path of so many thrillers before it.  There is little cleverness in its staging to match the film's thoughtful build-up.  It looks as if everyone -- especially writer and director -- coasted downhill for the movie's final scenes.  In fact, the viewer knows exactly what will happen just by the sequence of thriller movie clich&eacute;s.  The payoff hardly matches the set-up.<br /> Though "Disturbia" is far from a failure, its interesting house arrest plot point, its presentation of characters, and its overall fine acting leave the viewer annoyed that the film's lame climax is not worthy of the rest of the film's quality.
