The Kids Aren't Alright

I decided to make Disturbia this month's second movie, so instead of going to see Pathfinder, I went for the suburban thriller. And I really liked it.
The movie is like a 2007 Rear Window with cute teenagers and an endless supply of cutting-edge gadgets, and even though Disturbia certainly is nothing new under the sun, it manages to be engaging, entertaining, and quite intense. The film tells the story of Kale, a high school student under house arrest for three months. With his TV and Xbox 360 gone, the only thing left for him to do is watch his neighbors through the window. We have the porn-addicted middle schoolers, the uber-hot new neighbor (on the left), and the creepy guy that might just be a psychopath. Or is he?
As I said before, the thriller is intense and keeps you on the edge of your seat. And the actors all do a very good job. David Morse (along with William H. Macy) has always been one of my favorite character actors, and he is great as the suspicious neighbor; Carrie-Anne Moss is a believable mom (no more leather for her); and the three friends unveiling the mystery (the ubiquitous Shia LaBeouf, the hot Sarah Roemer, and the hilarious Aaron Yoo) are all very well cast and more than competent.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this movie to anybody that wants to experience an hour and a half of solid entertainment. So, go see it!
