Disturbia
By Jandy • Jan 5th, 2008 • Category: Capsule Reviews •If you’re going to remake Rear Window, this is at least a good direction to go. The source material is clear to anyone who’s seen Rear Window, but Disturbia has enough of its own concerns and sensibilities to keep it from feeling like a stale do-over of a what is quite possibly my favorite film of all time. That doesn’t necessarily mean Disturbia is good, but it’s not bad. It gets pretty predictable by the end, and the police officers are rather stupid, which gets annoying quickly. Still, it’s an enjoyable waste of a couple of hours. But really. See Rear Window.
