(Massachusetts?; roughly contemporary)
Thriller about paranoia in the post 9/11 world. Peter Krause play’s Terry Allen, a recently downsized accountant who becomes convinced that his new middle-eastern neighbor is a terrorist. Terry’s obsession grows as he continuously fails to find a new job, he comes to view his neighbors’s every action with suspicion, and starts spending more time spying on him then looking for work, or tending to his increasingly strained marriage. Krause is great as a man under pressure, he slowly burns towards a complete breakdown, as he takes increasing risks to prove to his wife, and a skeptical FBI agent, that he is right about the young Muslim grad student living in Apartment #2. The films tense final act brings it up from good to near great.
