       For some reason I thought this was a non-English language sci fi film. It’s not. It’s an American remake of Rear Window and not a very good one.

       Kale (LaBeouf) is in house arrest for hitting his teacher. Poor kid lost his father in a car crash the previous year. He starts spying on the neighbours and suspects one of them of being a mass murderer.

       What it is, is a juvenile sort of comedy about a couple of horny sexist boys and a cute saucy flirty girl doing stupid things to reveal the icky neighbour. I so wish it had been a non-English language sci film but since it was a bit exciting towards the end
