Absolutely the worst movie.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Recap: Ellena Roberts is arrested but insists that everything must be a misunderstanding. She had an affair with a successful surgeon and got a little over-zealous when he broke it off. At least that is her story. The surgeon, David Stillman, has a completely different story. He claims Ellena harasses him and his family and that the affair never took place. Lawyer Sara Miller offers to represent Ellena and finds her in the unenviable position to decide what is the truth, Ellena's version or David's.Comments: Often when you see a made for television movie you dismiss it before you even see it. Sometimes that is a mistake, and so it is in this case. This was a very interesting and intriguing movie that kept me alert the entire time. What is most interesting that the movie actually seems unbiased. Often enough the movie chooses side for the audience, we are clearly shown who is the good guy to root for and who is the bad guy to loathe and fight against. For once, this movie lets both parties, literally in a court, present their cases. And both stories make sense. At least initially there is precious little that indicates whom to believe. Which is interesting because in real life, in real court, this must be a common situation. There are two versions, both mutually exclusive, and you must decide which one is the truth. And in this movie you get to see which one, but it is not presented right away so it is an interesting tale to see.It is a good cast, even if few of them is famous. But Jenna Elfman do deserve an extra mention because her role could not be easy to do, and she pulls it off spectacularly.This movie is much better than expected, well worth to rent if you wish to see something else than a fast paced action. Do not dismiss it beforehand.
Obsessed is a nice movie for a nice evening.Its mainly he-said/she-said movie because its taken from a true trial case. And like all movies that fit into this class, director has put an extra effort to make the judgement (in real case) look like as if it is truth.Shouldn't we say 'Based on true trial case' rather than 'Based on true story' because nobody knows the truth except Ellaina and Doctor Stillman themselves. Judgement of court is based on facts and everybody who has seen a real-life trial knows how lawyers and liars bend them easily.Ellain(Jenna Elfman) is a successful medical writer who is obsessed with a neurosurgeon Dr Stillman. Although this is exposed very slowly till the end.Ellain is shown to be schizophrenic just because it aids true trial case outcome. Movie could have been excellent, if facts from both sides were given similar treatment by director and he had left decision in hands of viewers.Not to mention, Jenna's performance is amazing. One of the dialogues in the movie(may not be accurate): Dr Stillman: "You are amazing." Ellaina: "I like it when you say that word. Say it again."Jenna you are amazing ;P
This is a good movie, very intriguing. Jenna Elfman is a very good actress. She is totally believable in this dramatic role.It's a he said/she said film (except that the real story is eventually revealed) but I'm not sure I believed the ending. Without giving anything away, I will only say I'm not sure I buy the ultimate decision or what happens to the Elfman character. I'm not saying it's incorrect - only that I don't buy it. I think there would have been some doubt. As far as other elements of the story, on legal grounds, it is incorrect. Nevertheless, this movie is watchable, entertaining, interesting and has strong performances.
I believe the movie Obsessed is a great movie. One of my favorite movie starring Jenna Elfman. I beleive if you are a big fan of Jenna Elfman this is a movie to see. :) I saw Jenna in a new light and she did a great job.
