Disturbia

-Waste-
-Rent it-
-Buy it-
-Leave Now-


Shia LaBeouf star in a DreamWorks mental thriller directed by D.J. Caruso.

This movie is good enough to watch couple of times but will get boring after that. The acting in the movie was pretty good overall. LeBeouf is convincing as a spoiled problem child who was traumatized by the early death of his father. The killer played by David Morse was very convincing and had the best acting performance in the cast.

The movie's plot is small and simple but adequate for a movie.

SPOILER WARNING

The idea of "Every killer lives next to somebody" gave this movie great potential that it did not quite live up to. Viewers may have trouble making the mental leaps that the movie asks you to make. Early in the story Kale (Shia LaBeouf) and two of his friends are convinced that their neighbor is a killer and start messing with his car and house and stalking him around a local store. The leap from creepy neighbor who kills rabits to psycho serial killer happens to fast and many viewers will be left behind.

You can read a short more positive review of the movie at Film and Movie Reviews or see what other viewers thought at Fandango.
