the third act bumped it to a 8.
cause while yes you expect the main character to be right, i think there is still a sense distrust that a viewer could have while watching this film because essentially he's suspecting something that he's not fully wittnessed.
Rear Window
It only takes one witness to spoil the perfect crime.

A confined man's conviction grows that he's witnessing a murder across the courtyard, transforming voyeuristic curiosity into psychological dread. The apartment becomes both prison and vantage point as doubt and certainty collapse into each other.
