Obsessed

ObsessedStarring: Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles, Ali Larter
Studio: Screen Gems
Runtime: n/a
Rating: PG-13

Entertainment industry icon Beyonce Knowles finally tackles a role where she’s not playing a singer — thank God for that. But outside of this small bit of satisfaction, Obsessed largely falls flat on its face. Leading man Idris Elba and antagonist Ali Larter turn in solid performances that make the film watchable, for the most part. But in the dramatic spaces where Knowles is forced to step up and match the intensity of her costars, the aspiring actor is unable to tap into the raw emotions that make her such a dynamic singer. Therein lies the problem. –dewayne rogers
