Bravo for avoiding the typical story beats, but The Good Neighbor forgets to replace them with something substantial.September 15, 2016
The dreary lack of suspense in this tweaked "Rear Window" scenario, and our inability to care one whit for two cruel, arrogant bullies operating under a perceived notion that they're social scientists, makes this one tough going.September 29, 2016
James Caan's surprisingly nuanced performance ... does a lot of work in tipping the scales from substandard to mediocre.September 08, 2016
A good cast, headed by James Caan, and a good premise are wasted on a cumbersome, suspense-killing script and somewhat clumsy direction.September 16, 2016
Clever and funny, technically excellent caper film, with an amazingly moving emotional payoff at the end.September 16, 2016
A film that - from its basic set-up to its dearth of tension - plays like the tedious inverse of Don't Breathe.March 17, 2016
There's not much real suspense stirred here by a premise that straddles recent found-footage thrillers and "Rear Window."September 15, 2016
It's provocative work at times, but also painfully obvious, making for an erratic viewing experience where the urge to tune out is periodically interrupted by engrossing turns of plot.December 08, 2016
The Good Neighbor is a rumination on how hastily judging others without knowing them can mean more than innocent, harmless pranks.March 21, 2016
Screenwriters Mark Bianculli and Jeff Richard are too obsessed with driving their freshman thesis home, to the point that they fracture their own storytelling by overstuffing the narrative.December 13, 2016
Despite a slightly more innovative take on the found-footage format, the script fails to hold on to its promise of mystery and suspense.
