Obsessed

Terrible terrible movie. The performances from the main cast really weren't that bad. But it was just so hard for me to take everything seriously. The soundtrack was terrible. The Climax was terrible, The cat fight where Ali Larter falls like 30 feet and then just opens her eyes was so funny, I burst into laughter. Terrible.

How did Beyonce find this movie to be something worth attaching herself to? Her character has absolutely nothing to do but remain a second-fiddle cliched stay-at-home mistrusting wife from every other similar garbage movie. "Obsessed" really makes no sense, especially concerning Ali Larter's character. Poor Idris Elba, who really seems to have some star talent, tries to hold his own in this junk, but the flick is terribly written and completely laughable from beginning to end.

A quite unoriginal plot and a poorly developed soundtrack makes this movie seem like it belongs on the WE channel. It moves at a sluggish pace, and when events do pick up, it can be bearable. Bottom line is, it's a poorly written and produced film, but the actors are acceptable, and Beyonce is hot. Not that anyone needed to be told that.

I haven't seen Fatal Attraction but I have enough sense to remember that such a film like that is out there. It's depressing when your only redeeming quality is actually just a lonely solo singer named Beyonce.

Black couple version of Fatal Instinct - thankfully though not another poor version of the pyscho stalker genre. Genuinely gripping. Beyoncé gave a creditable performance, and I have yet to see Idris Elba give anything less than a stellar performance even with an American accent.

Yes, it has its flaws but I'm obsessed with Obsessed.

This movie had potential for 3 or 3.5 stars but lost it in the end, literally. After a certain point, there is no mention of the baby or where he is. Of course, the ultimate end of the villaness was given away at the beginning of the movie. The worse crime a movie can commit is to be predictable. Finally, the final face off between wife and stalker was definitely filmed for a specific audience of which I am not one of them.

Not the best in the genre, but it brought a few new elements to the table that worked. Good performances from Elba & Larter, but Beyonce's falls flat. I was actually liking Obsessed okay until the last half hour, where it hit every cliche in the book in rapid succession, and ended on a hilariously bad fight scene.

The last segment is one of the funniest I've seen in recent years!

This is a huge piece of shit.

very entertaining, but not for the right reasons. unintentionally funny.

Strangely, this flick was working for me up until the ending. I thought it was actually smartly executed, if predictable - at times verging on a bad episode of Springer Live - and, I don't care what anyone says, Ali Larter plays "hot-looking-but-crazy bitch" very well. But, the ending totally blew the whole movie to shit. When Ali Larter, in a 6-minute span, goes from normal blonde girl, to Spiderman, to ECW pro wrestler, to dead, that's the point where I wash my hands of it. I want my $10 back.

Starts out okay but eventually the comical lines and the waste of acting talent, especially McGill and Lahti, bring this one crashing down.

Hilarious Fatal Attraction remake. Bad. Some singers have been great on the big screen, and then there is Beyonce. If the song obsessed was by Beyonce instead of Mariah Carey, she could've broken out into song in the middle of the movie. That song came out in the same year.

Formulaic and unbelievably predictable, but ultimately carried rather well by the cast, who make the most with an incredibly clunky script. Beyonce is great in her role, bringing the correct amount of sass you'd expect/want from her. Wish she was in more things, beating up crazy white bitches.

This is all stuff that you've seen before (think of Hand that Rocks the Cradle or Fatal Attraction). The problem is that despite being filmed well, the acting from ALL cast members is atrocious. . , the caliber of soap operas. And, as another criticker member has said, the soundtrack is awkward (and horrible). All this being said, it IS watchable and will keep your attention. It's worth the $1 dvd rental from redbox just to see the "catfight".

Ultra-fun, blaringly obvious campfest ending with a Beyonce-white bitch beatdown that makes me long for more black female action heroes.

Beyonce Knowles is not an actress. The trendiness of the theme which is basically the white woman's supposed obsession with the black man was just as sure to get people in the seats as it was destined to be a horrible and ridiculous movie. Enough of this crap already. Moving along.

BAD!

"Director Shill doesn't get fancy building tension from his nonsensical male-anxiety mayhem, allowing Knowles's beguiling fierceness and Larter's sexualized cunning to carry much of the prurient load." - Nick Schager

Even as junk, Obsessed isn't kick-ass enough. The wind-up to Sharon's explosion takes too long, and director Steve Shill can't stage a real donnybrook.

What can I say ? Yes it’s basically another Fatal Attraction knock-off But I like these types of movies and I like Idris Elba and much to my surprise Beyonc’e can act

A Fatal Attraction copycat that makes all the wrong choices including the few ways the plot varies from it's predecessor

A movie staring Beyonce should have known it'd suck!

Stupid, predictable and pretty entertaining.
