Disturbia

I actually surprisingly really liked this movie. I know this is a fairly old movie, but wanted to write a review on it anyway. I wasn't a Shia LaBeouf fan until I saw this movie (and I'm still not a HUGE fan but I'm more of a fan of his since this movie and Transformers)

Anyway the main part of the movie is about Shia LaBeouf character Kale who is having a hard time since the tragic death of his father, eventually snaps one day after a teacher makes a comment about his father. Kale is then placed under house arrest and at first is loving it because he can just stay home and play on his Xbox, and be on his computer all day to keep himself entertained....when his mom cancels all his subscriptions to his entertainment to have him be more productive during the day, he then spends day after day trying to cure his case of boredom by spying on the neighbors nothing too exciting really as he doesn't live in a "interesting" part of town. While he is spying one day he sets his eyes on his beautiful teenage girl next-door-neighbor Ashley....

When she catches him spying on her, she is actually more intrigued by his new hobby then creeped out. So Kale, Ashley and Kale's best friend Ronnie continue to cure their boredom and end up spying on another one of their neighbors Robert Turner. But things take an interesting turn when they learn that Robert might be a serial killer....Now how are they going to be able find out if he is a serial killer or not when Kale can't even leave his yard?


OK I know that people who have seen this movie before might have thought it was sort of cheesy...and I agree some parts were kind of cheesy, but I actually really liked it and I thought the cast did an excellent job playing their characters. The movie even though it is FAIRLY predictable it definitely was suspenseful and it one of those movies that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
