They do little for me except offer some type of banal predictability and it takes a special screenwriter or director to elevate these type of films into something out of the ordinary such as Fatal Attraction. I have never been a fan of these stalking type films such as The Hand the rocks the Cradle etc. Even a big cat fight can't save the really really bad writing. Why keep trying to explain it to a crazy person? It's just bad writing. The story needs something to explain his actions. I don't get this reluctance unless there was a previous case of him cheating. He needs to do that in case she starts making accusations. It would be so much better to have both people flirt. He keeps hitting the audience over the head with Ali Larter flirting. Steve Shill is a TV director and that's the sense I get from this movie. Police detective Reese (Christine Lahti) investigates the case. She becomes obsessed with him and then she gets handsy at the Christmas party.


The office keeps her around as his secretary. There's the new temp Lisa (Ali Larter) in the office. Derek Charles (Idris Elba) is a successful asset manager with beautiful wife Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles) and toddler son Kyle.
