Civic Duty is a dark, contemplative thriller that adapts the Rear Window concept into a post-9/11 paranoia parable. Peter Krause stars as Terry Allen, an out of work C.P.A. who begins to notice some strange behavior from the “Middle Eastern guy” who lives downstairs. His free time spent waiting for calls from potential employers gives him ample opportunity to become a full on voyeur, and his gradual transformation from average joe to self-appointed terrorist hunter is a twisted psychological evolution that’s fascinating to watch.
