Derek Charles (Idris Elba) is good at his job; so good that he's recently earned a big promotion. He's worked hard to get to the top, and when his workday is finished Derek has the luxury of returning home to his beautiful wife, Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles), and their healthy newborn child. But Derek's perfect life begins to crumble when sexy new temp worker Lisa (Ali Larter) goes to work at the office and begins stalking Derek's every move. When Lisa's obsession turns dangerous, Derek and Sharon resort to desperate measures in protecting themselves and their child from her deadly wrath. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
A silly, contrived film.
-
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
Elba and Larter are actually pretty good. Beyonce, through, strikes one note throughout.
-
David Fear, Time Out New York
Don't think that exploiting female paranoia and the promise of Knowles throwing punches is enough to make up for your unabashed B-movie hitting the skids at the halfway point.
-
Dan Zak, Washington Post
As far as the crazy-stalker-chick genre goes, Obsessed isn't horrible. It's just intensely simple-minded.
-
John Anderson, Variety
Spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession.
