Obsessed Review
I must admit, I was intrigued by the massive buzz surrounding this movie. So I gave in last week & paid my $10 dollars plus two hours of my life. Anddddddd, I cant say I was dissapointed. This Review will not spoil the movie in case you were wondering.
As far as the plot & dialogue, I felt it could’ve been a bit more interesting. You pretty much know the movie after watching the first 20 minutes; A case of fatal attraction gone horribly wrong. In this movie, it gently treads the line between flirtation & rauchyness. Matterfact, it never even comes close to crossing it. For God Sakes, there is no sex scene in sight. For one, you cannot have a woman as gorgeous as Ali Larter & not even include a kiss. For two, it makes the movie a bit unbelievable that this woman dreams up a relationship when they’ve barely even touched each other.
Idris Elba did a good job with his character, you really begin to feel for him when everything comes crashing down. Beyonce didn’t have as many scenes as the others but, I can’t say that was a bad thing. All that can be said is, above everything else, she looked pretty. Ali Larter pulled the psycho bitch card perfectly, she is the living, breathing embodiment of every man’s nightmare.
Any laughs to be had from this movie are few & far between. But, when it hits, it hits perfectly. Though, the running time of the movie felt just a tad too long. This is not because 2 hours is too long to sit through; just seems as if they ran out of worthwhile material. Its safe to say, everybody came to this movie for one thing & one thing only. To See Beyonce lay hands on the Crazy Bitch. The movie would’ve benefited if they got to this scene faster. I must say the fight scene does not dissapoint. Beyonce & Ali Larter almost kill each other. I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t just a tad bit turned on.
In the end this movie is exactly what it was marketed to be. Because of that, I recommend this movie to anyone; it is a crazy, funny, friday-night-nothing else to do type of movie. But, don’t buy a ticket expecting a oscar-level performance. Otherwise, you will be dissapointed.
