I could see this happening for real. Great movie, well acted, good script.

OBSESSED is one of those "paint by the numbers" thrillers, but that doesn't make it any less effective. It's basically FATAL ATTRACTION with a black spin. There aren't any bunnies boiled in OBSESSED, however there is a twist or two that are very chilling, especially to a parent. The writers dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. They even threw in a red herring or two. But all in all, OBSESSED is very entertaining.
OBSESSED is definitely worth your time. Just settle back for a couple hours of fluff that won't totally satisfy you, but it will sate the sugar fiend in all of us :)

Predictable, beyond ridiculous script and so-so acting make this a laughable "Fatal Attracton" wannabe. Even the smackdown between Beyonce and Larter was a letdown. Loved the settings more than the script.

So Horrible on Every Level - Fails Even as Camp !

"This pathetic film is'nt even a watered down version of "Fatal Attraction," but instead a stinking stew pot of "The Hand the Rocks the Cradle," "Disclosure," "Waiting to Exhale," and "Play Misty for Me," all superior films to this tripe. "Obsessed" seems to exist for two simple reasons: to portray a black man as the Victim of a white woman, and to give Beyonce Knowles a chance to "Kick some ass." It fails on both accounts. Idris Elba looks like a younger Magic Johnson (ironically one of the Producers of this mess) but he acts like an Idiot: instead of taking care of the Stalker/Nut Job with a quick visit to Human Resources, he allows Ms. Lauter's Lisa to keep harassing him until it's too late. Ms. Lauter is a completely unconvincing Psycho. She seems more concerned with good camera angles and her skimpy wardrobe. But she looks like Meryl Streep compared to Beyonce Knowles. Ms. Knowles struggles to bring any sympathy to her character and while she looks great and treats us to some new songs (!) , she simply can't act. Period. And when she finally gets to "Kick some Ass," it is so poorly choreographed and ridiculous, it is too little too late. Add in every movie cliche: the Cops finger the wrong person, the Hero looks guilty, blah blah blah. I hope the Actors at least got paid well for this."
