Obsession

I have been putting off watching this film because of the low reviews BUT I must say I was definitely pleasantly surprised! So if u were like me putting this film off give it a try.

I wished I liked it more but unfortunately Obsession isn't that big of a deal. The first half is slow and pretty boring but you keep watching it in the hope it gets better. But it's the exact opposite that happened for the second half. The story gets ridiculous, just like they had no time enough to develop the story correctly. The crime solving scenes are just laughable, I guess we have a new Sherlock Holmes that can figure out the whole thing by watching the crime scene for one second. The acting is also below average. The only good thing about Obsession is the end that I didn't see coming but for that I had to endure the rest of this boring movie.

I understand that some of you hate this movie, and that's fair. I beg you to reconsider your "baaaadd actinggggggg!!!" Comments. A film that isn't up to par with viewers expectations shouldn't be blamed on acting alone. You can surely blame writers and directors too for poor execution by the actors. If someone gave you a trash bag to wear, how could you expect to win a fashion show? Point being, Mekhi can act. Period. Stop blaming actors when it's convenient. Mekhi was the glue that kept this slow moving movie worth while.

It's standard thriller elements that are elevated by decent acting and one hell of a great twist ending.

It's worth an hour and a half of your life, cuddle up with your significant other and enjoy.

Not understanding the poor reviews. I thought it was pretty good. The acting was good, in my opinion. I thought the Russian woman was attractive, and both the males played their roles decently. The movie kept me going, and the ending threw me off. I also thought the police officers played their roles very realistically.

My only complaint was that the motivations of the characters (both the boyfriend and, at the end, the woman) to do what they did wasn't really established enough. But still, the plot was good enough to keep you interested.

All in all, it was an enjoyable movie, if you keep your expectations in check. Not nearly as bad as some of the reviewers state here.
