Review

A bored suburban teenager (Shia LaBeouf) on house arrest starts spying on his neighbours, making one of them his girlfriend (Sarah Roemer), before the two begin suspecting that another  neighbour (David Morse) might in fact be a serial killer. This by 2007 standards chic thriller directed by D. J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) retains a rather attractive offbeat quality for much of its running time, with LaBeouf serving as an effective tool for the film's study of various ethical borderlands. That is, until we're approaching the solution and the clichéd David Morse character takes centre stage. Most everything about the finale is a let-down.
