Look at the title. Look at the trailers. Look at the TV spots. Obsessed didn't really look like a great movie in fact it looked kinda terrible but that it may be good in a trashy fun kinda way. And than you see that PG-13 rating yikes how erotic or violent could it possibly be. looks like the kiss of death for this type of film. So with extremely low expectations I entered this film. And you know what it blew me away. Got my adrenaline pumping. It was generic and by the numbers but there's a reason why they keep making this film over and over again from Fatal Attraction to the Crush to Poison Ivy to Fear and etc. is because if done right it really works. And I loved every trashy moment of it. The people involved with this picture knew exactly what kind of movie they wanted to make and you should know what your entering and you will love it. The setup is simple a evil young woman played impressively by Ali Larter tries to seduce a flirty office manager at her new job. When she's rejected she becomes obsessed (no pun intended) and starts to pretend they are actually together setting him up for a number of predictable plot twists all leading up so his wife played fantastically by Beyonce Knowles can kick her skinny ass. As for the film here's the bad it's not very clever and the cinematography is very TVmoviesh, the soundtrack is pretty terrible and unfitting and of course you know the plot just isn't very new or surprising which actually doesn't make it any less shocking when things happen. Now heres the good. the performances are really good for this type of film Ali Larter gives her psycho real three dimensional roots you never doubt her insanity and you see how it slowly grows. It's definitely a progression of tension between the slight flirting, sordid comments leading up to an aggressive sexual assualt and etc. The one thing that is compelling in that plotting is how developed it all is and how detailed. That being said the star performance her is Beyonce although she is uneven at some points when she becomes the strong character in the film. She's absolutely captivating and she has some real melodramatic, tear inducing emotional sequences energized by wife power and feminism. There are moments that although ridiculously cheesy wanna make you stand up and clap. She's a real powerhouse. And the film really should'nt be picked apart its just extremely entertaining from the overly melodramatic plot twists to the fantastically choreographed girl fight finale that rivals and exceeds Single White Females. Obsessed may not bring anything new to the table but there's absolutely nothing wrong with visiting simplistic material if executed properly and trust me Obsessed is packed with bitch one liners, hair flips and head ups and if thats your thing, because its definitely mine.
