Just got back from the movie Disturbia, and I must say I really liked it. It had all the elements of a good movie, the pace was perfectly timed, the script sounded real, and the actors were perfectly cast and did a great job.

There were a few problems, though.

As mentioned in the title, Disturbia was a rare breed of film. It was too gory to be a thriller, but it was too mild to be a horror movie. The cop that was "the teacher's cousin" was biased and unprofessional, the teacher ridiculed his students (even though they were a little smart-talking), the neighbor was a tease, and the court lady that worked the bracelet was a little too uptight to be real.

But other than those things and the fact that the movie took a while to pick up, Disturbia was an amazing film. Shia LaBouf has always been a good actor to me, and he has a bright future ahead of him, full of surfing penguins (he's Cody in Surf's Up) and robots (he's a main character in Transformers).

By the way, I was one of the porn-watching kids!:D Well, not really...

Lol,I saw it last weekend,I give it a 10/10,it had all the elemnts of a movie.

1. Drama: Dad died and boy is put under house arrest from punching teacher in face.

2. Comedy: Pretty funny stuff such as calling the kids mom and busting them while they are watching porn accrost the street.

3.Romance:That girl grabs him after he says the words he needed to and they kiss for half the movie.

4.Action: Punching teacher in face,stabing eveil killer man and killing him.

5.Scary:The killer killing his victims and them stuffing their bodys in freezers,and when the kid scares the other kid by hiding in a closet with a twinkie tower attached by hot glue.

It was the perfect movie for anyone!:D

Good point. I guess you have to go into the theater thinking that it will be full of cheap teen thrills. And what do you know?... it was!

You could have at least put 'SPOILER ALERT' in your post, lol. I read number 5, and it kind of ruined the whole movie? ;)
