Jason Kemp, a recently paralyzed architect, lives in a high-tech apartment filled with assistive technology. As a quadriplegic confined to his home, he passes the long hours by spying on his neighbors from his apartment window. His innocent pastime takes a deadly turn when he believes he witnesses a murder. Determined to uncover the truth, Jason continues to dig deeper - eventually finding himself locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

I can't believe I watched the wrong one. The most hilarious fumble.

That said, I found this to be really enjoyable, posibly more than most. One of the most intense, slightly terrifying thrillers I've ever watched. I've also never seen anything of Christopher Reeves post-accident, so that's an upside I guess. Truly an incredible man, to still be such a good actor even after becoming paralysed.

I wish there was more build up to the crime and just more suspenseful overall. Instead of focusing on his time in the hospital and “creative” paralyzed sex.

a truly impressive behind the scenes story does not change the fact that this remake sucks

(half a star off for the ending)
