What to Know

Critics Consensus

The inevitable Fatal Attraction comparisons aside, Obsessed is a generic, toothless thriller both instantly predictable and instantly forgettable.

David Fear Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Perri Nemiroff CinemaBlend Elba grimaces, Larter is seductive, and Beyonce says, 'You better do something about this woman, or I will.' That better be enough because that's all this one's got to offer. Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2010 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard A dim reworking of Fatal Attraction, directed with anonymous efficiency. Rated: 1/5 May 29, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The story is straightforward and well-told, if only mildly engaging Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …for all its slickness, the view of women expressed here is hardly positive or progressive… Rated: 2/5 Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Directed by Steve Shill, "Obsessed" skates over a lot of familiar territory - in a painfully slow-paced manner.

Audience Member 15 years old This was okay, could’ve been a lot better By the third act it turns into a silly action film Would’ve worked better as a lifetime feature if anything after all it resembles Fatal Attraction Ali Larter is good though playing a villainess and Beyoncé is trying as a loving wife Elba does a convincing American accent being a man that tries to be a supporting husband not letting anything tear apart his happiness Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Terrance L I didn't expect to be blown away. In fact, every step of the way, this movie will do exactly what you expect of it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Cassandra D Not the best movie ever made, but was excited to rewatch years after I'd first seen it. It's a bit predicable, but you can't help but root for Idris Elba and Beyoncé, and the storyline is exciting if not completely original. Expect to find yourself hissing "kick her ass, Beyoncé!" at the screen in the final scene. Well rounded, satisfying, and with lovable characters who you're happy to see have a happy (ish) ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Hilário the most iconic thing I've ever seen was Beyoncé beating up someone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Marcus O Não sei porque essa avaliação baixa, a Beyoncé parece incrível nesse personagem! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Georgan G 3 & 1/4 stars. Watched this flick despite the poor ratings as I really like Idris Elba. There were holes in the plot, but it was a slow build to the violent, satisfying end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
