It was not until Lang's typical American family moved across the street from their home that the situation changed. Oliver (Tim Robbins) and Sheryl (Joan Cusack) often invite Michael and Glen to parties, and Glen and the little boy Brady (Mason gumbo) of the Lang family soon become close friends. When the two families get more and more active, Michael gradually begins to doubt Oliver. At first, it's just because of some casual lies of Oliver, but they don't know each other More and more contradictions make Michael's doubts grow. His intuition is that something is wrong with this neighbor on the street. Michael's girlfriend Brooke (hope Davis) thinks that all the doubts are caused by Michael's neuroticism and jealousy. He is jealous that the Lang family has the perfect family he lost. But the more time Glen stays at the Lang family, the more worried Michael is, so he is determined to find out. The truth that Michael has discovered raises more doubts. The Lang family is definitely not as ordinary as they seem, but who are they? Why move to Washington? What is the conspiracy of the family across the street?

Behind the scenes production
Since 1994's "blowaway," Jeff bridge has starred in the suspense film again, playing the suspicious Michael. This is the first film after the Oklahoma bombing in 1995 to reflect the pressure of terrorism in an ordinary city (rather than a metropolis like New York). Some of the clips in the film are considered to be the essence of Polanski by critics. Some critics criticize that the middle of the film is a little too long compared with the wonderful beginning and ending of the film.
Film evaluation
This is a suspense thriller, the theme of which is intertwined from the psychological aspects of friendship and betrayal, doubt and fraud, people's Indescribability, and the inseparability of good and evil. The plot wanders on the edge of Hitchcock's investigation, paranoia, surveillance and voyeurism
