‘Obsessed’ a generic thriller

Cert 12

Thriller

Derek Charles (Idris Elba), beautiful wife Sharon (Beyonce Knowles) and young son Kyle move into their new home. He is a recently-promoted executive vice-president who is poised to land the biggest account in his company’s history.

Everyone loves him including his boss Joe Gage (Bruce McGill), skirt-chasing colleague Ben (Jerry O’Connell) and stereotypically gay personal assistant Patrick (Matthew Humphreys).

Trouble comes a-slinking into the building in the form of temp secretary Lisa (Ali Larter), who quickly sets her sights on Derek and refuses to take no for an answer.

Obsessed is a generic thriller with a script by David Loughery that plunders merrily from ‘Fatal Attraction’ and ‘The Hand That Rocks The Cradle’.

Star Rating: 3/5.
