Now on the flip side, perhaps this is a good thing. He says no and when she asks him what he had to tell her, he says it’s nothing. She’s devastated and asks her husband if he’d ever do that to her. The only time he was about to tell his wife about everything was the exact moment her sister’s husband left her for someone else. The truth is the plot unfolds according to the filmmakers wishes because the characters make these choices devoid of common sense, and the result harms the otherwise solid film. Why doesn’t Derek tell his wife what happened at the Christmas party? Why doesn’t he report Lisa to human resources? Why doesn’t Sharon hit the panic button on her home security system that the director went through so much trouble to establish? If any of these questions are addressed in the film, their answers are unconvincing.
OBSESSED MOVIE CAST MOVIE
In fact the one major flaw in the movie is the story’s reliance on the ‘idiot plot’. We felt like it was very important for him to discuss what had happened with someone about it and to report it, but he never did. They mention it one time and it’s not brought again. Not to give anything away, but there is a scene where Derek gets a date rape drug put into his drink and is taken advantage of. One thing though, who is this Matthew Humphreys and why haven’t we seen more of him?!Īlthough the movie is very good, there are some plot holes. Sure, he’s got “the mind”, but he’s still loyal. Jerry O’Connell is funny and at the same time seems like a good friend. Beyoncé Knowles is of course, a great actress and we hope to see her do more films.
His acting makes him seem like the ideal man. The plot is rock solid and so is the cast. Derek doesn’t believe it, but soon sees that he’s got it all wrong and it’s causing deadly trouble for everyone around him! Lisa then says that all the good ones are taken and Patrick says, “Or straight!” Later, Derek’s best friend and co-worker Ben (Jerry O’Connell) warns him that she only has eyes for him. Patrick, (Matthew Humphreys) and as she eyes Derek, he says that he’s taken. She falls for it and he leaves the elevator. He tells her to watch out for Derek Charles, (himself) saying that he’s a real jerk. They chat and she tells him that she’s the office temp for the day. (He is the Executive Vice President of Gage Bendix.) He’s in the same elevator as Lisa. The movie opens up with Derek and Sharon happily moving into their new house with their son.
Things are going great with his wife Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles) until an office temp (Lisa Sheridan, played by Ali Larter) shows up at his work and sets her eyes on him. It’s about Derek Charles (Idris Elba) who gets a promotion at his job. Obsessed is a 2009 thriller film starring Idris Elba, Beyoncé Knowles, Ali Larter, and Jerry O’Connell. Christine Lahti and Jerry O’Connell co-star in this Fatal Attraction-style thriller from director Steve Shill. Now, it’s much more than a dangerous liaison it’s a full-blown occupational hazard. But his charmed life takes on an ugly tarnish when sexy office worker Lisa Sheridan (Ali Larter) sets out to seduce and destroy him. But bright-eyed temptress of a temp Lisa (Larter) is certain she can change Derek's mind, and she begins springing all kinds of love traps on him at every available opportunity the situation reaches a boiling point when she crashes the office Christmas party, follows him into the men's room and literally throws herself at him.Derek Charles (Idris Elba) seems to have it all - including the perfect job and the perfect wife (Beyoncé Knowles). Derek (Elba), a wildly successful financial whiz, is happily married to Sharon (Knowles) and the proud dad of an infant son. Loughery is even bold enough to borrow a few themes from another Douglas hit "Disclosure" to throw into the mix. Between the cast's cardboard performances and the increasing absurdities piled on by screenwriter David Loughery, "Obsessed" is guaranteed to be a staple at Bad Movie Night for years to come. Puts Idris Elba, Ali Larter and Beyonce Knowles in a hauntingly similar situation - practically every plot point of "Fatal," except the boiled bunny, is rehashed here - but this ridiculous pseudo remake will only keep audiences screaming with laughter.
