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.

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..

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 .

"I saw him beat someone badly, just for talking to me." Leah (Lathan) and her boyfriend have different plans for the future and decide to split up. When she meets the charismatic and charming Carter (Ealy) she easily falls for him. He says and does everything perfect, but when she sees his dark side things change. Afraid of what he may do next Leah breaks up with him, but Carter doesn't let go so easy. This is a really good movie that could have been so much better. The movie gets really close to the tenseness it is striving for, but ends up falling short. Carter does do some very scary and terrifying things, but nothing that hasn't been seen before. The movie really left a lot on the table that would have really helped it out and made the movie as tense as the filmmakers wanted it to be. The movie is good and I liked it better then No Good Deed, but it was just too cliché to really have the impact it wanted. Overall, not bad and worth watching, but not as tense as it could have been. I give it a B-.
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.

- 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.
