Obsessed
Lisa (Ali Larter) is the temp from hell who stalks Derek (Idris Elba) and tries to break up his marriage to Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles). Lisa starts out flirty, then sexually aggressive, and ultimately insanely delusional. The film is playful as it teases and titillates. The tension builds and builds. The audience becomes emotionally involved and becomes frustrated unable to control the situation just like poor Derek. This film is wonderful foreplay and the audience gets a terrific ride on their way to the big climax. The story is nicely done with enough plausibility to believe it could have happened that way. The dialogue is teasingly selected to foreshadow things to come. The film has Beyoncé, the sexy Ali Larter, and a "Fatal Attraction" quality to it; what more does it need to lure an audience. For a good time, go see Lisa... in "Obsessed".
Alien gives it 3 "scary good stalker" stars out of 4.
