That was an excellent one.

Pretty Good

Excellent adaptation.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Obsession or A Trusted Man is not completely irredeemable. It is not too bad to look at, and Charisma Carptenter, Gemma Martini and Nicholas Lea's performances are decent. But it is a largely bad and forgettable movie. While the actors do what they can, they don't have much to work with. Their characters are underdeveloped clichés and I found myself more annoyed with rather than able to identify with them. The dialogue flows awkwardly from one line to the next, and some of those lines are either cheesy and ones that we've heard to exhaustion. The pacing is lifeless and meandering, and unfortunately it never recovers, and while the direction does nothing to hurt how the film looks there is nothing that holds any kind of distinction or even life here. But what fared worst for Obsession was the story. It is one of those stories that you have seen so many times before, and done in such a draggy and non-suspenseful fashion, that you know exactly what's going to happen to each other and how the movie was going to end. Nothing makes sense either, there's far too many senseless parts here to really pick out the biggest offender in this regard, but Sebastian not calling the cops on the way to the warehouse, the cop knowing about the warehouse without having been there and Sonia not finding it peculiar how he came out in the middle of nowhere are certainly at the top of the list.All in all, forgettable, predictable and senseless movie compensated by some decent acting and that it didn't look cheap. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Here we go. The storyline is so linear that it makes the movie hard to watch. You always know what the next steps will be. No surprises there. All the turns of events can be predicted, somewhat looks like the screenplay was written in a way to make it easy to understand even for the family dog. Note that we are talking about a thriller!!! Where is the thrill, the suspense, the biting of your fingernails?! Seriously! There are a number of points where you know that in real life this and that cannot/would never happen. And these all happen at moments that are crucial for the storyline. So bottom line: Don't waste your time with this movie. I can't believe I am actually wasting time on typing up this review... just wanted to spare you the disappointment.

A Trusted Man is one of the worse movies I'd ever seen. After a 2-year relationship, Sonia tells her boyfriend, Tom, she got a work promotion, accepted, and planned on relocating. Just up and go. Being female, I believe women are free to do as they please, but in a long-term affair, at the minimum, attempt to resolve an issue. I do not condone Tom's actions, but when two people are in love, or one spouse assumes his/her partner loves him/her, is it not normal to sit down and discuss options? I mean, two-years?? The same applies to men. It doesn't take the FBI to figure out who's doing the stalking. Minutes after watching A Trusted Man, I figured out the ending. Trusted Man is non-Challenging. Non-Suspense. Seems to me the screen-writer, attempted putting a story together, without much contemplation.

Sonia seems to have trouble with male relationships in this 2011 film.When she accepts a promotion in another city, this ticks off her boyfriend, the latter happening to be a New York City police officer. This sets off a chain of a series of events which is absolutely shocking.Her rejected boyfriend will go to any lengths to make sure that if he can't have Sonia, no one else will and that includes the psychiatrist who told her to move on with her life.The rest of the film is devoted to how the police officer frames her new lover with the murder of the therapist. Problem here is that the police realize rather too quickly in the film that the perceived guilty guy isn't.
