Obsessed
Actors: Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles, Ali Larter
The most remarkable attribute of this movie is its outstanding picture quality and when you check the name on the back—Rain Forest Films, the motion picture company behind Motives—one would be less surprised.
In a similar vein, one could compare this film to Motives; they both theme on the trial of relationships. The cameras rolled in on Deker Charles, ably played by black hunk, Idris Elba, is an executive vice president of a financial firm and his wife, Beyonce, and their son,Kyle, moving into their new house and their gestures suggests a young rich family.
Another female character is introduced: Lisa, who worked as a temporary secretary to Derek. She plays a pivotal role in the denouement of the plot. This delusional woman fell in love with Derek and tried inadvertently to start an affair to no avail. She had no choice but to resort to ideas from her crazy brains and consequently, Derek marriage and family is put through the test of infidelity and trust by her actions.
This film could have easily passed as a Nollywood flick save the quality of the picture and appropriate directing. The actors and actresses were however remarkable and the sound tracks were apt. One can’t stray too much from the reason; Beyonce’s signature vocals.
This is not a movie I would want to watch again perhaps because the plot is not elaborate and might not necessary pass through what would call the African kaleidoscope. It’s mostly foreign and tends towards the realms of artificial.

ReplyDeleteTo me: you are probably right about it being too western. The movie was too plastic to me. I am beginning to dislike the average Hollywood movie. Nowadays, they are too predictable. Even their half-hearted attempts at introducing suspense can be easily read. I now limit myself to watching animation movies to admire their creativity and also comedy movies for their therapeutic effect on the mood.
ReplyDeletefrom time a significant fraction of hollywood flicks have lacked originality. and such plots and sequences are more often than not boring. this is perhaps because hollywood financiers refuse to experiment. they would rather stick to franchises that are sucessful than break new grounds, involve new genres and conquer new frontiers. the money holders have always dictated the tune. and with obsessed, beyonce dictated what she wanted.
