Nice, suspense thriller
I went to see this movie based on various recommendations from friends. Inam a sucker for a good thriller. The actor mix is perfect and , even though some parts are predictable, you will definitely enjoy the movie. I loved the main trio and their performances. This movie can be considered a life lesson because you don't really know who is that you are dating out there. Watch till the end,nice twists.
I liked that the characters are not typical and that some boundaries are actually pushed in this movie. I went w my bf and a friend and all three of us agreed it is a nice movie, different than all the usual ones .

Good thriller ... lotsss of tension.
Little cliche story but with real psycho creepy staff. Dramatic.
Some stupid faults.. . but apart from that quite realistic. Good acting !. I like the detective/police agent a lot..

Just a brief thought on this thriller.
The perfect guy is the kind of flick your girlfriend is half way through watching when you get home and even though you know exactly what will happen scenes before they do, you sit down and watch the rest with your partner as it chugs along.
This was a flick I always said to watch when I wasn't there and I found myself enjoying it.
It's well paced, some solid supporting cast and the escalation of the antagonist doesn't feel forced.
Give it a shot.... When there's nothing else.

Plot Twist Came Really Fast!!!
The movie is good! I did feel like they ruined his (Carter ) character in the movie a bit too soon. It would have been a great plot twist to allow the 2 (Leah & Carter) to grow closer then maybe have Cater start to grow jealous of her Ex.
It was ruined so suddenly at the gas station and things shifted really fast!
If his good guy character could have lasted a little longer, things would have been more intriguing.

Nice psychological treat!
Sometimes when you're in a serious relationship you have to test the waters to make sure you're with the right person. Well ladies, if this statement is true for you make sure the guy you choose to test the waters with is not Michael Ealy.
Ealy was a hardcore psychopath in this flick, just a bag filled of cats, man. His performance remind me of Idris Elba's performance in No Good Deed. I did not think Elba's performance as a sociopath could be top, but Ealy topped it.
He started off so charming, even though I knew the purpose of the movie he was still able to pull off the concept of the perfect guy without forcing it. Then when he went off, you felt so sorry for Sanaa Lathan's character, Lena who made the god awful wrong choice in rebound guy.
The movie in itself was just OK, but I give it points for the performances of Lathan, Morris Chestnut, but especially Ealy who nailed it.

- TriviaThe film was shot mostly at night using Sony digital cameras and anamorphic lenses. Much of the shooting used available light to create a "mysterious" look because "David wanted the film to be dark," according to the film's director of photography Peter Simonite.
- GoofsThe detective mentions getting a subpoena to search a suspect's apartment. Subpoenas are used to obtain records or compel someone to appear in court. If a dwelling is to be searched, a search warrant is the proper item to use. A seasoned detective would know the difference between the two.
