EXCERPT: Everything in the film proceeds according to formula. Neither director Steve Shill (a prolific TV director doing his first feature film) nor screenwriter David Laughery ("Lakeview Terrace," "Flashback") seems at all interested in creating tension or suspense so much as boring us to death with talk and then shock and awing us with stupidity. Haven't any of the filmmakers seen a Hitchcock movie?

No one behaves rationally in "Obsessed," making the plot not at all scary or exciting, just frustrating. "Obsessed" kept making me madder and madder as I watched it because the characters' behavior kept getting dumber and dumber. By the time it ended, however, I wasn't so much angry anymore as I was a little giddy at the film becoming so laughably bad. Seldom does a movie thriller misfire so severely as this one.

Rated PG-13 for sexual material including some suggestive dialogue, some violence and thematic content.

"The director moves things along quickly and efficiently, providing a requisite number of tense, squirm-inducing moments along the way."
—Gary Goldstein (Los Angeles Times)

Film Synopsis:
All's fair when love is war.
Sharon and Derek have all they've ever wanted... but someone else wants it more.
How far would you go to protect what's yours?

A successful business executive with a beautiful wife, who was once a temp in his office, finds his idyllic life threatened by a new temp who reveals herself as a stalker, forcing Sharon to fight to save her marriage and her life.

When successful financial advisor Derek Charles (Idris Elba) settles into a new Los Angeles neighborhood with his loving wife Sharon (Beyonce Knowles) and young son Kyle, everything seems perfect. But when a beautiful temp, Lisa (Ali Larter), joins the firm, Derek's life takes a strange turn. After a misunderstood encounter at the company holiday party, Lisa begins to spiral out of control - putting Derek's career in jeopardy and Sharon's marriage and life on the line.

Hell hath no fury like an office temp scorned in director Stephen Shill's domestic thriller OBSESSED. Executive-produced by entertainment megastar Beyonce Knowles, the film stars Knowles as Sharon, a one-time temp who has become a dutiful wife to investment brokerage hot-shot Derek (Idris Elba of TV's "The Wire"), as well as the mother to their son. Further temp-tation arrives in the form of Lisa (Ali Larter of "Heroes"), who sets her blonde ambitions on Derek from day one. Sharon is wary but Derek remains a model of marital fidelity in the face of Lisa's repeated flirtations--inappropriate incidents that he avoids telling Sharon about.

But when Derek rejects Lisa's sexual advances at the company Christmas party, her downward spiral of romantic obsession leads her to pursue Derek on a corporate retreat and attempt suicide in his hotel room. Promptly sent into spousal exile, Derek must win back Sharon's trust while the two attempt to put Lisa's psychotic episode behind them. Lisa is one temp who's not easily reassigned, though, and her increasingly brazen intrusions into Derek and Sharon's life auger an inevitable reckoning between the would-be seducer and wife.

First-time film director Shill gets a wonderfully wicked performance from Larter, while Knowles shows off her claws in the film's climactic showdown. Taking its place alongside such films as Fatal Attraction and Disclosure, OBSESSED is a rollicking reminder that all's fair in love and stalking.
