| Plot: Derek Charles (Idris Elba) is the Executive Vice President of Gage Bendix and has received a recent promotion. He is happily married to his wife, Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles), with a son, Kyle. Derek is very successful at work and Sharon is pursuing her business degree. However, a new temporary worker, Lisa Sheridan (Ali Larter) begins to unnerve him. Derek’s co-worker, Ben (Jerry O’Connell), reminds him to be careful because he thinks she has her eyes on him. Lisa eventually attempts to seduce him, but he repeatedly rejects her advances. Lisa becomes obsessed and begins to manipulate Derek and Sharon’s relationship, eventually becoming violent. Lisa’s actions become erratic and she fakes a suicide in Derek’s hotel room while he is on a business trip, leaving him no choice but to send her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Sharon calls Ben to see if he has heard from Derek, and he tells her that there was an emergency and Derek wasn’t available. She asks was everything alright and Ben tells her that he should tell her himself. Sharon meets Derek and the hospital where everything is revealed making Derek look like the bad guy, and a supercilious detective named Monica Reese (Christine Lahti) interrogates Derek about his "relationship" with Lisa. Sharon refuses to believe he didn’t sleep with Lisa and they separate for three months.Meanwhile, Detective Reese interrogates Lisa, who lies about her relationship with Derek. Detective Reese discovers that Derek was telling the truth and that Lisa is insane. Reese informs Derek that she believes him now and Lisa has moved to San Francisco. After Sharon forgives Derek, they go out to dinner for his birthday. Sharon gives him a gift that is actually the key to the house. While they are out, Lisa goes to their home and convinces the babysitter to let her in, eventually escaping with Kyle while the babysitter is distracted. When Derek and Sharon return, the babysitter informs them that Lisa had been there, and they find that Kyle is missing. Derek goes to the car, intending to pursue Lisa, and finds Kyle in the backseat with lipstick from Lisa on his forehead. They set up a home alarm system, while Lisa secretly monitors the house.Later on, Patrick (Matthew Humphreys), Derek’s assistant, receives a call from Lisa. He reveals that Sharon and Derek will be visiting her mother’s house, with Sharon leaving that afternoon and Derek first thing the next morning. While Sharon is on the way to her mother’s, she calls Derek, who asks her if she set the alarm. She realizes that she forgot and goes back to set it. Meanwhile, Lisa has broken into the house with a bottle of champagne. While setting the alarm, Sharon hears Lisa pop the champagne bottle open. Sharon finds Lisa wearing one of Derek’s t-shirts lying in her bed. Sharon tells Lisa she is calling the police, but Lisa tries to stop her, thus beginning a catfight. Sharon pushes Lisa down, but Lisa gets up and shoves Sharon onto the dresser, knocking her down, and begins kicking her. Lisa grabs a lamp and tries to hit Sharon with it, but Sharon escapes to the bathroom.Derek calls the house and Lisa answers. Sharon struggles with Lisa to get the phone, headbutting her and knocking her down. Sharon tells Derek she’s going to have to call him back and hangs up. Derek calls Detective Reese and leaves his office. While fighting, Sharon reminds Lisa of everything she has done. Lisa escapes and runs to the attic. Sharon pursues Lisa to the attic, where she is attacked. Sharon, remembering when Derek showed her a weak spot in the floor, leads Lisa to it. Lisa falls through the floor and hangs onto the edge. Sharon reaches out and grabs her hand to prevent her from falling, but it’s a setup as Lisa pulls Sharon down with her instead of accepting her help. Seeing that the floor is starting to buckle, Sharon pries Lisa off of her arm and she falls to the ground. Lisa grabs a chandelier, stopping her fall, but lets go and falls onto the table below. Sharon sighs in regret as she sees this, but then sees Lisa open her eyes. Lisa begins to rise up when the broken chandelier falls on Lisa, killing her. Derek and Detective Reese arrive as Sharon comes out of the front door. As the film ends, Sharon and Derek run and embrace each other, crying. |

Frank's film tip: Why would anyone be OBSESSED about an interminably flaccid FATAL ATTRACTION knock-off?
Let’s face facts, folks...the Lifetime Channel serves up better zesty cheap-minded seductress thrillers than director Steve Shill’s uninspired, generic psycho-chick flick Obsessed. This awful Fatal Attraction knockoff looks glossy and impishly naughty in its tawdry tale of sexual obsession of the home-wrecking kind. Unfortunately, that familiar adage applies to the spineless spectacle of Obsessed...you know...that looks can be quite deceiving. Basically, Shill’s faceless stalker entry is a dismissive stunt that fails to carry out its titillating tendencies.
There’s nothing in Obsessed that audiences haven’t seen before which sums up the anticipation of the woefully pedestrian movie’s transparent distinctiveness. Shill’s junk-minded narrative screams guilty pleasure but this mindless “raging-and-roguish” wicked woman saga needlessly drags and creates all the sparks of your car’s defective muffler scrapping the pavement. Sure, the casting is decent when featuring ebony studmuffin Idris Elba and the explosively sexy salt-and-pepper combo of curvaceous cuties Ali Larter and Beyonce Knowles (in non-singing form of course). Nevertheless, Obsessed is never trashy, taut or tricky enough to be memorable as anything but a forgettable farce drawing unintentional chuckles.
Handsome Derek (Elba, “The Wire”, “The Office”) works in finances and had just got a well-deserved promotion. Derek is blessed because he seems to have it made. He has a challenging and well-paid professional job and a voluptuous wife named Sharon (Knowles) to go home to for comfort. However, the good-looking Derek has the notable prospects that most women would cherish—particularly in that of an unstable blonde bombshell office temp named Lisa (Larter) whose immense attraction to her hunkish moving target proves to be quite fatal for all involved.
The scheming Lisa has the lusty eyes for Derek but continually is a disruptive force at the office. Between her surging hormones and disdain for her co-workers Lisa’s passion for the married Derek takes on a whole new complication. Unable to control his curvy yet twisted admirer, Derek simply chooses to dodge the issue by not mentioning anything to his spouse Sharon in hopes that the heat would subside from the presumptuous temptress. Wrong move, Derek!
Naturally, most viewers know what’s coming up in the much discussed rag tag confrontation that transpires between Beyonce’s scorned Sharon and Ali’s seedy vixen Lisa in a climax billed as the ultimate showdown in Cat-Fighting 101. It’s too bad that the movie’s monotonous build-up gets in the way of the so-called hair-ripping hedonism. With Beyonce’s Sharon wanting to kick some pushy tail and Larter’s Lisa desiring some forbidden loving from her co-working Cassanova it is no wonder that Elba’s Derek did not walk out on the tempered tandem and find a redhead to escape their caustic craziness.
The notoriously spotty script has all the complication of a box of broken magic markers. Scribers David Loughery and Will Packer leave nothing to the imagination in a manufactured melodrama going through the predictable motions of recycled excitement. The material is indifferent and implausible and never is interested in asking pertinent questions or addressing the ramifications of such marital strife brought on by a harassing hussy wanting to sow her misguided oats.
Curiously, the movie shuns the racial angle in having a gorgeous white sexpot crave a black stud at the expense of his exasperated black wife. Even 2008’s mediocre-received Lakeview Terrace ventured to explore the race-relations behind interracial hook-ups. Conveniently, the movie wants to play it safe as being colorblind regardless the desirable witch looking to break up a thriving marriage. Sadly, Obsessed isn’t psychologically deep enough or honest in its pseudo-provocative platitudes. All Obsessed wants to do it strut around its nonsensical noisiness in sensational high gear.
Ironically, the intermittent sparks fly when Elba and bad girl Larter share scenes in nerve-racking fashion. As for the Elba-Knowles pairing, their chemistry has all the muster of an ice tray without cubes. On board for filler are Jerry O’Connell as Elba’s horny workplace sidekick. Also, gay secretary Matthew Humphreys registers as the inquisitive source observing the office dirt. Granted that this was a flexing vehicle for Beyonce Knowles to show her acting chops in a different venue away from the musical biopics. Let’s just say that the talented singer-actress may want to master the formatted musical first. After all, jumping hastily into mundane makeshift melodramas about husband-stealing honeybuns on the hunt is not exactly what one would call seeking out one’s cinematic potential.
Puerile and simplistic in its synthetic gimmickry, Obsessed oozes nothing but contempt and a cornball solution for exploiting the repetitive misogynist melodramas that long stopped being in vogue since the Reagan administration. |
