A fun, thriller!

I Do not get what it is people do not like about this movie!!!!! First off, Due to other reviews, I went to this film with some very low expectations. This film was slow paced, so to say, as far as actual suspense, but it still was entertaining, and gave some time for character and plot development. I personally was not bored for one second. Within about 10-20 minutes I was hooked in. The main plot of the film, is about a very successful asset manager, Derek, and how his relationship with his wife, and future with his family, are threatened, when a seductive, tempt, comes blasting into his life. It starts off similar to many. She comes as a temp, he befriends her, she takes it as "Oh, He loves me!!". When rejected she relentlessly stalks him, and endangers both him, and his family. Ali Larter, returns!!!! She is amazing. She is sweet when she needs to be, Seductive when she needs to be, and psychotic and crazy as well, when she needs to be. Ali seemed act as a cross between Sharon stone from basic instinct and Rebecca De Mornay(the nanny from H*ll!), from the hand that rocks the cradle. Beyonce I though was great! She made me laugh. She played a very good p*ssed off mother and wife!! This film starts off slow, and gains to a point of high intensity. Once it has you on the edge of your seat, you wont leave their. Though at points a bit predictable, I found this to be a fun, edge of your seat, thriller. -Kris
