Wit, suspense, and just a hint of sex.

Certificate: 15
When teenager Kale (LaBeouf) is placed under house arrest, he is forced to wear a distance restricting sensor anklet by the police. With no television or company to pass the time, he turns to another source of local entertainment: his neighbours. But, just as Hitchcock taught us, if you go looking for trouble, it just might find you. Disturbia is a fun thriller geared at the under-18s. It has wit, suspense, and just a hint of sex. LaBeouf shines as the impounded teen and is quickly proving he's not just another cute kid onscreen. The plot stumbles in a few places, but overall Disturbia is an entertaining thriller that will make you second guess just who you share your property line with. [Megan Garriock]
