Massive turnout for this film premiere. What a guest list:

Beyonce stole the show with Ali Larter looking equal show stealer in our opinion, both shone, Beyonce in a black number with the straight haired look, Ali Larter with the pearl and gladiator heels look!

Plot:

Quite a simple one. A successful asset manager, who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage. But when a temp worker starts stalking him (Larter), all the things he’s worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy. The cast includes Idris Elba, Beyoncé Knowles, Ali Larter, Bruce McGill, Scout Taylor-Compton, Ron Roggé.

The Verdict.

Female stars including Ali Larter and Beyonce, guarantees the beauty factor is in abundance in this film. Other actors here are not so well known with us here. Obsessed is a sort of modern day “Fatal Attraction” which starred Glen Close and that was an incredibly good film, and is one hell of a tough act to follow. If you’ve seen it you’ll know what we are talking about, if you haven’t, see it!

The storyline in Obsessed is good and pretty true to life, as these things do go on in the real world, and from what we have seen it looks a gripping film, but just three things let it down. Firstly, just don’t know why, it has a slightly TV movie feel about it, just slightly, secondly acting looks reasonable but is not outstanding, and thirdly we do like originality and there is a slight borrowed feel to the story line here with a different “Fatal Attraction” twist.

All 3 are mark downs in our books but minor ones, from a neutral rating of 3. A film still worth seeing for the Beyonce and Larter factor none the less. All You Tubers are giving the thumbs up. We are firmly slightly below neutral.Rating 2 and half stars out of 5. Box office wise it really is anything goes with this film, No1, or total flop, or anything in between. Depends what else is out there at the time!
