1.0 out of 5 stars On no she didn't!, August 2, 2009

This review is from: Obsessed (DVD)

Want to see a supremely watered down version of Fatal Attraction? If so, look no further than Obsessed, a potboiler that holds back much more than it succeeds in terms of being a potboiler. The Wire's Idris Elba stars as a successful corporate man who also plays loving family man to his wife (Beyonce Knowles), and soon becomes the target of psychotic young temp (Heroes' Ali Larter). Wholly predictable and cliche, Obsessed is mind numbingly dull from beginning to end, but I guess this is the kind of thing that passes for suspense these days that mainstream audiences seem to eat right up. Elba is disappointing wasted in his role, while Knowles and Larter do their respective parts at looking gorgeous, and doing nothing else as well. All in all, Obsessed is something that you could easily save yourself a few brain cells by not giving the time of day, and spending your viewing time on something more worthwhile.

3.0 out of 5 stars UMMM.......Try again, August 31, 2009

This review is from: Obsessed (DVD)

Beyonce was not right for this menial part. Her acting wasn't for this part. (Beyonce is too good for this) Now she is a good actor and I would have loved to see her as the wife but this tacky story line was not for her. Idris Elba played his part. (I love me some Idris!!) And Ali Larter played hers . BUT this movie was low grade; well the story line was anyway and worst of all it wasn't finished.
Okay in the end, what happened? Did they go to court? Did the detective find out the truth? (I mean the truth speaks for itelf but the movie should give you the answer) Did Beyonce understand what happened without you guessing? I mean in the end there are a lot of gaps.
Overall, the movie is okay but wait for it to come out on cable or borrow it!!! TRUST ME!!! It should be televised on network tv maybe even BET.
