Lakeview Terrace review

Rated :

A movie about newlywed's first step gone wrong. Based on what?

The actors are wonderful however I could say none on movie overall. Read on.

Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Wilson, Kerry Washington play their role on this thriller. I've some great rave review on this one. However, I tend to find this movie quite lame.
Every rational movement can be detected in this movie and makes it very predictable. The plot are so slow that I dare to take a quick nap and still able to follow the stories. Maybe I'm not into serious plot much, but I know a great movie when I see one. In fact these are what all movie-fanatics capable to do skillfully.
There are various opinions on this but I still find mine is very appropriate. But there are no doubts that they played their characters very well that I feel annoyed by the bad guys too. Still one great act could not make up for the whole movie.

Quick synopsis on Lakeview Terrace without bloopers
A newlyweds make their first move by moving into a very decent society. Their marriage not seems to be approved by everyone because of inter-racial dilemma. However, they manage to live happily and seem to be taking control of their life. Everything seems right. Until they found out they lived they moved to a great place but at the wrong time next to the wrong person.

Thank god you lived next to a cop.

* Remarks on star rating given (2) : I always love Jackson's act. This proves a strong figure can support a whole lot of other. Their message from the movie is very well delivered through all actors strong act. But it stills not enough.
