Civic Duty

Aroview: Post-9/11 paranoia and propaganda combine to arouse the suspicions of a newly-redundant accountant (SIX FEET UNDER's Krause), who dedicates his days to keeping tabs on his Middle Eastern neighbour.

Heavy on the cliches, light on insightful commentary - this punches below its weighty subject matter, but before it degenerates into an unlikely hostage drama, there are enough moments of genuine suspense to raise more than a few heartbeats. Hitchcock would've curtly sniffed at the nods to REAR WINDOW, mind.
