Absolutely brilliant
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

View MoreThis is one of those movies that could have been so much more than what we get on film. The characters had great potential, and there were 3 fairly good performers in the 3 lead roles. And a great supporting cast highlighted to me by Holt McCallany as Detective Hansen. The weakest performer to me was Michael Ealy. He played his character from the beginning as too one note. Even when all the friends and family were seeing him as a good guy in the beginning of their relationship, the way Ealy acted and used his eye movements I never could like him at all. The pacing to me was really bad too. They jumped over so much of the big moments in the first of the movie as if to get to the part of him stalking her. It was like they were rushing to get to what they saw as the good part. But the good part was so predictable. You could almost see everything coming before it happened. I never felt any tension or any feeling of the characters being in danger even though they were. It was a movie with a lot of potential but a big let down.
View MoreI read this description of the movie:"After a painful breakup, successful lobbyist Leah Vaughn (Sanaa Lathan) jumps into a passionate relationship with a charming stranger (Michael Ealy). When her ex-boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) resurfaces in her life she has to figure out who she should trust and who she should fear." And after reading that I thought that this would be a thrilling movie in my taste. But even though I love Sanaa Lathans acting and the main plot this was nothing other than a big disappointment. "She has to figure out who she should trust and who she should fear". Absolutely not. Leah and the audience knows from the very first second who's the villain and who's not in this movie. That's what's make it such a boring and predictable movie. It was the typical "get the neighbor that suspect that something is wrong to be quiet so let's push her down the stairs", and "let's destroy the wheels of the car and make it look like an accident" and so on. Nothing you haven't seen before in these kind of movies.So predictable movie. No plot twist what so ever. Don't think it's worth your time. Can strongly recommend to watch Disturbia and Boy next Door instead that has plots similar to this one but are MUCH more thrilling and unpredictable.
View MoreWhile the actors are great, the script is so bad it turns them into B- grade actors. I feel bad for them since I know they can act well. This is like the time Natalie Portman did Star Wars. Shes a great actor but the script was so bad her acting turned wooden. If they made the lines less lame and predictable, this may be just barely watchable.I cringed a lot. But I watched the whole thing hoping it would get better. It doesn't. It's like watching a bad teen novel-turned-movie.I'm embarrassed for this movie.
