A cheap, would-be cool, glorified teen popcorn movie. Don't be fooled by the previews, this is nothing more than a stupid adolescent thriller, with little going for it at all. The comparisons to Rear Window are justified, but ultimately insulting to the Hitchcock classic. It utilizes none of the techniques that made the 1954 classic special, and soils most of the things it does borrow. The story structure and direction is messy and unfocused, and all the cool parts of the movie are squandered by not spending enough time on it. But Shia La Beouf is a confident young actor, and it's great to watch someone who you know will be a star someday in their early days. Daivd Morse is a well cast bad guy, and there's a few funny and scary moments in it to make it entertaining.
