Saw this in the theater. Beyonce is a horrible actress, and this movie really felt like something that could have just as easily been broadcast on Lifetime, but I still got some genuine guilty pleasure enjoyment from it, thanks to Idris Elba and Ali Larter. An R rating and a real black actress like Sanaa Lathan, could have made this give Fatal Attraction a run for its money. What a wasted opportunity....

Loved, loved, LOVED it! Day one Blu buy for me. And an exclusive digital copy? MOTHER YES!
This did suck and since 2006 with basic instinct 2 we have gotten these c**p movies at about the same time. 2007-perfect stranger 2008-deception and now this. The problem(among several) with this film is that it was so tame. The Ali character didnt even do anything that sexy. It felt very neutured. At least go all out and be so bad its good. This couldnt even be a guilty pleasure. It was just a lame predictable watered down movie
LOVED this movie. Saw it 3 times in the theaters. Can't wait to own the DVD and watch it over and over again. The Beyonce/Ali Larter catfight is worth purchasing the DVD just for the replay value. Sucks that the Blu-Ray is the only version to get the digital copy but oh well, I'd gladly spend an extra $14.99 to get this on iTunes as well.
Yuck. Id rather mutilate my balls than see this.
other than ALi Larter why see this?
Beyonce In Fatal Attraction remake how orignal!!!

No offense, but those that loved this, need to get their head out of their ass. This was a 1:1 copy of Fatal Attraction. Rent it or buy it on Blu-ray, you won't be sorry.

And other films are ripping off of other famous films. Your point is...?

I wish they had at least named one of the featurettes that, seeing as how it was the original title.

Haven't seen this yet, but will definitely rent it. I agree with the above comment that this movie probably wouldn't have gotten as much flack if a more mature and sophisticated actress like Sanaa Lathan or even Angela Bassett played Beyonce's part. Beyonce is a talented singer/performer, but I think she is so overrated as an actress.
And is it just me or is it absolutely lame to have the classic "Play Misty For Me" scenario, but have it focus on the most boring spectrum... The hapless wife/girlfriend?
Meh, not sure if I wanna check it out, may be for $12ish. Anyway, I'll take Ali Larter over Beyonce any day!
Highres Blu-ray artwork added...
I'm liking the new tagline better. More threatening.

Like which ones for example? Anyways, my point is clear. This was just a lame excuse for our next generation ones (mainly adolescences) to completely endure on this one by not realizing there is a MUCH better version of the SAME synopsis from the 80's. Point proven.

You know what I'm saying. Halloween started the whole slasher craze. Meet the Parents, The Family Stone, Monster-in-Law, etc have the same exact plot. I don't see how you complained how Hollywood isn't original when 99.9% of the movies released today are either sequels, prequels, based on a book, based on a videogame, based on a true story, etc.

Where is Soloist? I want that one instead.
I remember counting all the movies this had ripped off of, just by the trailer.
I love how they made Ali Larter look like a velociraptor on the cover. Did they forget that Beyonce is the center of all evil?
i liked it =)
I here Idris Elba doesn't even sleep with Ali Larter in this movie. Seems pointless to me. Ali Larter is "Obsessed" simply because she is crazy?
