Critics Consensus

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

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.

London Evening Standard

A dim reworking of Fatal Attraction, directed with anonymous efficiency.

The story is straightforward and well-told, if only mildly engaging

…for all its slickness, the view of women expressed here is hardly positive or progressive…

Directed by Steve Shill, "Obsessed" skates over a lot of familiar territory - in a painfully slow-paced manner.

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

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.

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.

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.
