Genre : Thriller

 

Cast : Michael Ealy, Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut

 

 

The leading character breaks up with her man after almost two years of dating because..he told her from the beginning he didn’t want kids,but she thought he was playing. Also,he’s not the marriage type. As a woman,I have to say I sided with him. She just felt pushy. Doing things your way in spite of his own desires,is not gonna end up well,just in a divorce with no children,soon.

 

Michael Ealy’s character was caricaturesque. He only dated this woman for...how long,a month? And he became obsessed with her? Later on,in the movie, they throw in a mental illness to explain his actions.

His character comes across as great at the beginning,but then,for no reason snaps at a guy and she breaks up with him. It just felt forced. If they dated longer,so we’d see him slip up every once in a while,like get jealous or get drunk and act violently,it would make sense,but it just happened all of a sudden!

 

The scene at the bar felt so forced,with the guy hitting on her,it just had me laughing.

There’s also a s3x scene in a dirty public restroom,all I could think of was,disgusting,the dirt,the germs!

There’s a nosy neighbor who just seems to conveniently be out or get out of the house whenever she’s out. She even somehow manages to get into the leading lady’s house for no reason just to catch the villain looking through her things,and get k!lled.

And about him going through her things,there are some effed up scenes like for example,a toothbrush scene..

 

The actors,most of them I’ve seen in many other movies and they were great. In this one,not so much.

The actress who played Tara in True Blood,I liked her in that one,not so much in this one.

Charles S.Dutton , I’ve seen him in many movies,always great,in this one he just seemed over the top,it felt like he exaggerated his reaction in the scene when he came back from the baseball game that we weren’t allowed to see as an audience.

The blonde actress was the worst!I hated her!She acted as if she was a psychiatrist the leading actress was frequenting ,when she was just her friend! This is how she always acted,as if she was her psychiatrist,and the lead was on her couch,with her flat acting,as if she was reciting or something,like a commoner who was placed in front of the camera for the first time and had stage fright.

The only ones I liked were the leads including Morris Chestnut.

 

Rating : Could have been a contender !
