A silly, contrived film.
Elba and Larter are actually pretty good. Beyonce, through, strikes one note throughout.
As far as the crazy-stalker-chick genre goes, Obsessed isn't horrible. It's just intensely simple-minded.
Spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession.
If the producers had done their work properly on Obsessed, I would not now be wishing I could reclaim the two hours I wasted on this tepid, sexless, thrill-free melodrama.
Great-looking actors, glossy locations and a knock-down, drag-out girlfight still don't make Obsessed anything more than a predictable and tawdry Fatal Attraction-style guilty pleasure.
Fatal Attraction "lite" too risque for young teens.
[Blu-Ray Review] What would you expect from an urban thriller whose original working title was Oh No She Didn't.
"I knew it would come to this," hisses Sharon when finding Lisa lurking around her beautiful Brentwood home--at which point I exclaimed, "Me too!"--and then the fun (and, for many, the entire purpose of the film) starts.
Ali Larter gives good crazy, but Obsessed is torpedoed by some unforgivable, easy-to-fix story hiccups and, mostly, a terrible performance by Beyonce Knowles, who alternates between woodenness and one-note histrionics.
By the time it ended, I wasn't so much angry anymore as I was a little giddy at the film becoming so laughably bad. (Blu-ray Edition)
Seldom does a movie thriller misfire so severely as this one.
Obsessed left me completely uninterested
Bottle blonde sexpot in heat with boundary issues on McMansion home invasion spree, with alpha male power as the ultimate female aphrodisiac. All that's missing is the stained blue dress. I did not have sex with that woman, she had sex with me.
Another movie that demonstrates it's bad feng shui to place a glass coffee table beneath a chandelier beneath an attic that can't even support the weight of a blond wearing little more than the whipped-cream bikini she sported in 'Varsity Blues.'
A compelling reminder that Hell still hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when she's a crazy, two-faced psycho.
They did this movie a few years ago. It was called "The Temp". So many holes in the plot, I stopped counting. An unintentional laugh riot!
Slow, one-note and climactically risible.
Not even the lovely Beyoncé Knowles can save this clichéd thriller.
A dim reworking of Fatal Attraction, directed with anonymous efficiency.
If Obsessed were a perfume, it would ming like happy hour at a squids' brothel. This atrocious, and atrociously derivative affair is not only an early contender for worst film of 2009.
It's execrable; a fist-chewing embarrassment that has no right to a theatrical release.
Idris Elba, so good in The Wire, looks a long way from Baltimore in this overcooked Fatal Attraction-style yarn about a cocksure executive laid low by the office temp.
Everyone involved should feel cheap and used.
Who wouldlike this crap, its so boring and stupid, i being generous with 2 stars, a bad movie.

OBSESSED falls flat with Beyoncé as a LEAD actress. This proves that singers canNOT be actors/actresses.
