The nightmare began for Derek Charles (Idris Elba) when Lisa
Sheridan (Ali Larter) was engaged as a temp at Gage Bendix where the former was
Executive Vice President. As a reformed womanizer she had a lot of work to do
in order to continuously maintain the trust of his beautiful wife Sharon (Beyoncé
Knowles).
However, smart and beautiful Lisa Sheridan had set her eyes
on Derek Charles and she was determined to win his love no matter what it
takes. When her plans of seducing him on various occasions fall apart, her
demented mind driven by unrequited love to the point of obsession resorted to
crazy machinations all with the aim of winning his love.
Lisa succeeds in cooking up evidence that seems to suggest
that she and Derek have a thing going. Sharon begins to doubt her husband’s
fidelity and Derek has a daunting task proving his innocence. It remains to be
seen as to whether Derek will fall for her crazy machinations or remain
resolute in his desire to remain faithful to his wife.
“Obsessed” is a movie which is above average and in terms of
rating I will give it a 6 out of 10. This movie certainly shows that Beyoncé is not only a
great singer but a good actress. However, it beats my imagination how Sharon
decides to confront a deranged lady like Lisa alone in the house when she had
the option to bolt and call the corps. This is clearly not a sane behaviour on
the part of Sharon. Idris Elba is certainly the star of the movie. He played
his role perfectly.
“Obsessed” was released in 2009 and it has a
running time of 108 minutes. It was written by
David Loughery and directed by Steve Shill
