Shia LeBeouf plays Kale, a teenager who have attitude problem since his father's death in a car crash when they were driving home from a fishing trip. Kale who assaulted his Spanish teacher, was then put to home arrest with an electronic ankle bracelet device which prevents him from going anywhere further than his front yard. Imprisoned in his own house, he began spying on his neighbors with his naked eyes. A series of intense voyeurism with camcorders and cellphone and ugly events unfolds as he grew suspicious of his other neighbor (played by David Morse) for killing women in his house.
The movie spend a big first half on building up suspense, unveiling storyline and developing characters leaving the boiling point to the last quarter where the film took a rough and inexplicable turn. One might find the first half a little bit too slow, but as the plot unfolds, it's all understandable, building tension needs time, and the director have a very good grip at timing.
Storyline is uber cliched teen thriller one might mistakenly placed this along-side with I Know What You Did Last Summer, but thankfully it's not, credits to the brilliant casting of Shia Lebeouf as Kale and his super-horny asian friend, Ronald played by Aaron Yoo. Shia Lebeouf proves he has the credibility to carry a movie, his acting, is spot on, and he has a very good control over his character making Kale - the troubled teenager a relate-able character.
