NIMBY

I didn’t expect too much from this film. Figuring it to be pretty much another teen thriller, but from the outset I was pretty impressed.
The dialogue for the first 1/3 of the film is simple allowing the audience to watch LaBeouf settle into his new found confinements. I enjoyed the simplicity of this. Watching LaBeouf explore his limits and settling into his voyeuristic routines. From then on the plot became more predictable but held my attention and kept me wondering ‘guilty or not?’
I think the film would have been stronger left unresolved but all in all an enjoyable contemporary twist on the old classic.
