    Beyonce is a Very Bad actress

    Good movie but Beyonce is The worst actress I've never seen
    5b-malley

    It's not as bad as they say.

    This movie is simple; if you saw the previews then you pretty much saw the movie. If you saw any other movie about obsessed chick stalkers then you saw this movie. The directors and producers get a big fat "F" for originality and creativity. However credit needs to be given to Idris Elba because he convincingly made me feel bad for his character, great acting. Ali Larder was obviously hot and her usual temptress self, however I must add that she played her role so well that towards the end of the movie I didn't care how hot she was, I too wanted to just get away from she creeped me out so much. Hope I didn't give anything away. P.S. this movie should not be ranked a 4.

    The Funniest Thriller of the Year!

    Ever since I saw the trailer I knew this movie was going to suck really bad. I walked into the theater jam packed. The beginning started pretty descent, then once he started to get to know the "Obsessed" temp, the movie started to get really weird. I think they over exaggerated this movie way to much. The acting was horrible and the ending fight scene was hilarious! Everyone in the theater laughed when the quote "Bitch Breath" was said. This movie could of been a huge success, but they hired really bad actors and actresses. The girl that played the temp is a good actress, she knows better than to sign up for this crap. Overall I gave this a 5/10 because some of it was pretty entertaining, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

    Not as bad if you go in with the right expectations...

    I went to go see this film in the theaters and let me tell you this movie was a blast! People were laughing and cheering through out. Was it because it was an Oscar caliber film with amazing character development? NO. It was because it was a brainless, campy, thriller.

    There were many laugh-inducing moments. Were they supposed to be intentionally funny? I'm not quite sure, but they were quite enjoyable nonetheless.

    Don't go into this movie with the mind frame of it being a deep, psychological thriller with a chilling plot line because you will be extremely disappointed. It's stupid fun, and what's wrong with some stupid fun once in a while?

    Wish Beyoncé didn't ruin this

    I absolutely love this movie... except for the part where Beyoncé stars in it. I'm sorry but she ruins the whole thing for me. Her voice and her terrible acting kills any chance of this being a good movie. She's got to be one of the worst actresses I have ever seen. The rest of the cast is amazing, A+ for them. Ali Larter is amazing at being sweet and psycho at the same time and Idris Elba is phenomenal as the lead. I could watch this movie over and over again if Beyoncé didn't come in and ruin the whole thing. They should have casted anyone but her
