{movie} disturbia (2007)

In this modern retelling of Hitchcock's thriller Rear Window, Kale (Shia LaBeouf), a troubled teen sentenced to house arrest, begins watching his neighbors out of boredom -- only to discover evidence that a serial killer lives a stone's throw from his home. As his suspicions of his neighbor (David Morse) grow, Kale enlists the aid of friends Ashley (Sarah Roemer) and Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) in his increasingly dangerous snooping.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** This enjoyable little thriller has what many thrillers lack today: a simple setup, a great story, and a wonderful payoff. Shia LaBeouf is picking great roles and has almost completely shed his Disney image.
