You know, this could have been a fairly decent movie but for one main thing: None of the actors in this flick did any decent job of acting, and that included the usually fine actress, Lahti. And Knowles was so miscast it was painful to watch. It was like she was trying to do Vivica Fox, who could have pulled this off, but we ended up more with Betty Boop. And the final 10 minutes, with the "infamous catfight" was ridiculous. Knowles in her kick-ass hooker boots and push-up bra announcing her chest like some formal invitation, and Larter in black silk panties and her obsession's T-shirt (I do believe). And Larter pulled off menacing about as well as a gerbil. This movie had so much potential, as I liked the premise (innocent man is stalked by crazy woman but thinks he can handle it), even if the actors were sub-par, but whoever wrote the script must have been asleep at the wheel. No one was convincing and a lot of the story was not plausible. I've read that some people think the movie is racist, but I found the movie sexist. Meaning that guys are nothing more than drunken hound dogs and too stupid to admit that some wee thing is scaring the hooey out of them. Pass this one up.
