We've been searching around for reviews of the new Beyonce Knowles movie Obsessed and let's just say, we've had an easier time finding a parking place at the mall on Black Friday. It took a bit of driving around the Internet, but we managed to find a few reviews from online bloggers:
BDKReviews.com writes:
Obsessed is your typical stalker thriller but is horrifically written and terribly overacted. Beyonce Knowles' performance is completely laughable and Idris Elba needs to look back over his resume and do more of the good flicks and T.V. shows; i.e. American Gangster, "The Office" and "The Wire."
From TheMovieBoy.com:
There is no excuse for a dumb thriller when the people behind it prove capable enough to make an intelligent one.
Metromix.com gives us this gem:
A subpar thriller that falls into the classic B-movie trap of too much mundane dialogue, too little pulse-quickening action. The climax arrives in the form of a glorious girl-on-girl smack down that will someday make a fine clip on YouTube. Until then, do what the actors should've done: hold out for something better.
And from BrianOrndorf.com:
What better way to show some imposing box office muscle than to headline a trashy, empty calorie thriller that plays with racial bugaboos and DTV slasher conventions for a cheap, conversation-with-the-screen response. Oh my, this picture is junk food, but worse, it's an absolute toothless bore.
Sony never screened the movie for the press. Given these reviews, they were wise to just let the movie rest on Beyonce's name and fan base.
