It all began when Lisa(Larter) and Derek(Elba) met in the elevator. After chatting briefly, Derek discovers Lisa is a temp, but later Derek also discovers Lisa has an obsessive character that has focused on capturing is affection by intruding into his life. From spying on Derek's telephone calls, to unwanted sexual advances , Lisa wanted Derek at any cost, even if it meant splitting him from his wife, but of course his wife felt differently.

Steady and slow but interesting, interesting but not extraordinary, Obsessed was simply entertaining. The story was predictable, and it could have benefited from a plot twists. There were no surprises to spark the the mind into amazement. Obsessed had an unappealing and ineffectual sex scene (if it could be considered that) that could have added a strong basis for conflict in the story, which could have also been the climax of the film. Notably this is a sanitized tale of fatal attraction, that features great acting that could have served the audience better with an R rating. This film was simply entertaining. I'll rate it a 72.
