Obsessed - 2009 * * * * *

All's fair when love is war.

First off I really wasn't sure that Beyonce would be able to act in a movie like this. In one word she was 'outstanding.' I thought this movie was brilliant, with excellently draw characters and a fantastic storyline. The plot centres around Derek, a successful accounts manager in the city who becomes entangled with an alluring temp named Lisa who will not take no for an answer when she starts stalking him and he rejects her advances. Beyonce plays his devoted and loving wife Sharon who starts to have doubts about her husband's fidelity after finding out that he has a close relationship with his assistant. All three characters play their parts superbly and I was gripped for the whole movie. This movie could be compared to Fatal Attraction with certain differences such as the fact that Derek never actually leads Lisa on and is happily married while in Fatal Attraction the main character actually has an affair with no guilt attached. Worth at least 2 watches!
