Review of Obsessed

All's fair when love is war.

The only thing which I liked about this film was Ali Larter (Lisa Sheridan). Her performance was simply brilliant; you could definitely believe her to be the obsessed psychotic sex kitten her character really is. The storyline was.. well, typical. Successful man ends up being stalked by someone he works with because in her damaged mind, the nice things he says and does for her are signs of love. Sounds definitely like Fatal Attraction.
Derek Charles (Elba) is a successful vice president of the company he works for. He and his wife, Sharon (Knowles) have just moved into a new house, mainly because of Derek's promotion. The two have a son, Kyle. The next day, Derek meets Lisa Sheridan (Larter), whom he initially mistakes for a client. In reality, she is a temp - his temp. During the days that follow, Lisa develops mad thoughts about her and Derek having a secret affair, especially after what happened in their office's Christmas party. Drunk, Lisa attempts to make a move on Derek, but he is sober enough to escape her clutches before anything else happens. This doesn't do anything to tarnish Lisa's fantasies, however. She quits her job in Derek's office just so he wouldn't end up jeopardizing his job (she got this from something Derek said), tried killing herself from an overdose of pills, and even entering Derek and Sharon's home just to give them a scare by taking their son and placing him in the backseat of their car. In the end, it isn't the cops or Derek who finishes Lisa's madness, it's Sharon, who is determined to keep her family safe from the deranged psychopath.
Wicked catfight between Larter and Knowles, and it was probably the highlight of the entire film.
