Actually, there’s nothing in Obsessed that audiences haven’t seen before which sums up the anticipation of the woefully pedestrian movie’s transparent distinctiveness. Shill’s junk-minded narrative screams guilty pleasure but this mindless “raging-and-roguish” wicked woman saga needlessly drags and creates all the sparks of your car’s defective muffler scrapping the pavement. Sure, the casting is decent when featuring ebony studmuffin Idris Elba and the explosively sexy salt-and-pepper combo of curvaceous cuties Ali Larter and Beyonce Knowles (in non-singing form of course). Nevertheless, Obsessed is never trashy, taut or tricky enough to be memorable as anything but a forgettable farce drawing unintentional chuckles. [Via: Associated Content]
Let’s take a look at what other people said about Obsessed:
It breaks my heart whenever I see the actors who played brilliant roles in The Wire being reduced to play minor or one-dimensional roles.
Marlo in Max Payne, McNulty in Punisher War Zone, Bunny Colvin in Lie To Me, etc.. I thought Elba was exception but this review does not sound like he was.
I’m fairly certain “The Wire” doesn’t quite have the established widespread credibility that it does here. Considering most of the actors were journeyman “Hey-it’s-that-guy” types, and “The Wire” is still basically a cult show, it doesn’t seem likely that they could be too picky with roles. Hell, I saw a “Law & Order” episode recently that had both Bunny Colvin and Chris Partlow in it.
Favorite appearance in a movie by a WIRE actor has to be Isiah Whitlock Jr. in ENCHANTED. By the time Amy Adams does her whole cartoon princess routine in front of him, I half-expected him to respond with “Girl thinks she’s a princess? Sheeeeeeit!”
