| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsBorrowing a page or two from of the Hitchcock classic Rear Window (1954), this riveting psychological thriller for the Internet Age delivers as compelling a variation on the helpless voyeur theme as one might hope to find. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA young hip hero, well played by up-and-coming star Shia LaBeouf, and clever use of new technology mark this semi-successful update of Hitchcock's Rear Window and other classics about surveillance and voyeurism. |
