Disturbia Movie Review Analysis and Commentary
Disturbia starring Shia LaBeouf, Sarah Roemer and David Morse is a movie that has gone a long way towards restoring my faith in the ‘Thriller' genre. Finally a teen targeted movie has managed to prove that it can actually rival most of the Hollywood blockbusters out there and pull it off with class. Disturbia is a gutsy movie that gradually builds from being suspenseful to opening up a whole new level of paranoia, voyeurism and genuinely nail biting moments. Slick visuals and some pretty cool technology make this easy on the eye and the entertaining storyline works well to keep you on the edge of your seat for the final hour. Shia LaBeouf is Kale, a teenager who begins to go off the rails after witnessing his father's death. When he punches his Spanish teacher it's the last straw and he narrowly avoids juvenile detention. Ending up cautioned and placed under house arrest he has a tracker attached to his ankle which confines him to his house and yard.
If he breaches the perimeter of his confinement the sensor alerts the police. When his mum cuts off his TV, and Xbox Live to prevent him from enjoying himself too much he enters into a little voyeurism, starting by checking out the hot girl next door (Who he later befriends) he gradually stumbles upon more sinister goings on in the house across the street and becomes increasingly suspicious of Mr Turner (David Morse) who's bizarre antics lead Kale to believe he may be harbouring a dark secret. Once again Shia LaBeouf has proved to be a capable and entertaining actor, his comic timing and genuine likeability work well for him and he never falters during the movies dramatic scenes creating believable tension and atmosphere.
David Morse is fantastic in this film, I absolutely love the eerie and borderline sleazy presence he has managed to conjure up and it gives the film a whole new slant when his character comes onto the scene. Carrie Anne Moss (Trinity from The Matrix) plays Kale's mum, but unfortunately most of her scenes don't give her much of a chance to shine so it's hard to say how I think she faired. What did you guys think to seeing her in this? The film is apparently not an actual remake of the Hitchcock classic ‘Rear Window' but it does bear some resemblance to the movie which as a film fan I'm ashamed to admit I haven't actually seen. If you have seen both, let me know your thoughts! *Spoiler Alert - Don't Read on if you haven't seen the Film!!* I actually found it quite refreshing to see a movie where the main character we had come to suspect the whole way through the movie ‘Mr Turner' was actually the killer and NOT the classic red herring! Did it go through anyone else's mind that the killer might have been Ashley's dad? I found myself repeatedly questioning how the movie was going to turn out and whether they were going to throw us off the trail at the last minute. It's quite rare that a film calls this kind of double bluff on the audience and I really liked it! Let me know what you thought about Disturbia by replying to this article, I'd love to hear your views on this film....

I seen this yesterday
I seen this yesterday afternoon, what a fantastic movie it is, Shia LaBeouf is a very talented actor, I could watch anything this young man is in, he lights up the screen, he has a knack of choosing both the big blockbuster hits aka Transformers, Indiana Jones for next year and the movies which may not make the millions of Transformers, Disturbia is a tense thriller aimed at a market not usually aimed at and it works, the writing is fantastic, David Morse plays a suitably creepy charactor, we don't really get to see Carrie Ann Moss very much,so can't really pass an opinion there.However 10/10 for this movie for me, great review too.
I agree with you Becky,
I agree with you Becky, Disturbia really hit all the right buttons for me, and I was glued to it from start to finish.
Shia LaBeouf was awesome, showing why he was picked up for the cash monster that is Transformers, but for me David Morse was the best actor in the whole movie, showing just what a quality actor he is.
The ending was brilliant too, and I almost wish that it would have turned out the other way with David Morse's character winning, and carrying on, but obviously I wasn't the writer so it didnt happen. But other than that Disturbia is excellent!!
