DISTURBIA

I love the premise...a modern day teen-version remake of the Hitchcock classic REAR WINDOW (one of the best thrillers of all-time). And...I loved (well at least liked) the movie too...for about 2/3rds of it. The movies starts out well...builds suspense and interest...gets a fine performance from the young Shia LeBeouf...and then crumbles with a ridiculous last chapter. DISTURBIA frustrated me because it could have been...and should have been...so much better. I've thought about a few different paths this script could have gone, and I can't decide which one is best...but I do know that anything is better than we got. Too bad. 2 1/2 of 5 hs
