| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Elba grimaces, Larter is seductive, and Beyonce says, 'You better do something about this woman, or I will.' That better be enough because that's all this one's got to offer.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2010

A dim reworking of Fatal Attraction, directed with anonymous efficiency.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 29, 2009

It's execrable; a fist-chewing embarrassment that has no right to a theatrical release.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 29, 2009

Idris Elba, so good in The Wire, looks a long way from Baltimore in this overcooked Fatal Attraction-style yarn about a cocksure executive laid low by the office temp.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 29, 2009

It could be the least erotic thriller ever made, unless die-you-bitch catfights through broken attic floorboards constitute some sort of kinky subgenre.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 29, 2009

The best ladies' final to be seen this side of the French Open.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 29, 2009

Bunny boilers ahoy. This lame and laughable stalker-thriller makes Fatal Attraction look thoughtful.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 29, 2009

Obsessed delivers in its limited way, as the audience audibly responds to the characters' choices and actions, even though we know exactly what to expect.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2009

As far as the crazy-stalker-chick genre goes, Obsessed isn't horrible. It's just intensely simple-minded.

| Apr 27, 2009

Spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession.

Full Review | Apr 27, 2009

If the producers had done their work properly on Obsessed, I would not now be wishing I could reclaim the two hours I wasted on this tepid, sexless, thrill-free melodrama.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 27, 2009

Great-looking actors, glossy locations and a knock-down, drag-out girlfight still don't make Obsessed anything more than a predictable and tawdry Fatal Attraction-style guilty pleasure.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 27, 2009

This Screen Gems film initially tries to confront issues of sexual inequality, but it isn't long before Obsessed's hand-wringing tone acquiesces to the material's sleazy absurdity, eliciting more laughs than drama.

Full Review | Apr 27, 2009

Obsessed takes far too long to get cooking, and it works so hard at not being exploitation that it loses sight of its reasons for existing in the first place.

Full Review | Apr 27, 2009

One doesn't expect a movie of this type to be plausible, but this one stretches the plausibility factor past the snapping point to the unintentional-laughter point.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 27, 2009

Obsessed, is short on dimension and subtlety, but it turns into a mess believable enough to keep us invested.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2009

Until Beyonce and Ali Larter duke it out at the climax, this is one dull film.

Full Review | Apr 27, 2009

Obsessed is a safe, dull morality play. The most that can be said on its behalf is that, unlike Fatal Attraction, no bunnies were boiled in the picture.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 27, 2009

Obsessed dutifully revises the 'blank from hell' genre which gave the world ridiculous, misogynist thrillers in the mid-1980s and early 1990s.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 27, 2009
