Give Obsessed some credit it knows it's a rip-off of Fatal Attraction and other stalker-themed suspense thrillers, so it doesn't waste any time setting things up for us. In fact, within the first five minutes, I literally figured out exactly how the movie would end! All the pieces of the film cliche like are put into place immediately.

That won't save him though. Derek Charles (Idris Elba) has a dream life and a dream family.

The three of them have just moved house and it seems they have the perfect future cut out for them. But it all starts to go wrong when he meets the flirtatious new temp Lisa (Ali Larter) in the lift at work, and begins a friendly, jokey working relationship ...  Read the complete review
