Reviews

The 2002 adaptation of "Rear Window" starring Curt Baldwin received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a moderate rating, reflecting a range of viewer opinions—some appreciated the tense atmosphere and modern take on the classic story, while others felt it lacked the depth and style of the original Hitchcock masterpiece. Critics noted that while Baldwin's performance was solid, the film fell short in building the same level of psychological suspense, with some describing it as predictable and less engaging. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a consensus or rating for this specific version, indicating limited mainstream visibility. Overall, the film is regarded as a decent thriller for television audiences looking for a familiar plot but does not match the acclaim or impact of the original 1954 "Rear Window."
