Movie Review: Lakeview Terrace

Chris Mattson and Lisa, a young interracial couple, have just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship. A stern, widowed-single father of two, LAPD officer Abel Turner is the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly harassing to the newlyweds. The persistent intrusions into the lives of Chris and Lisa ultimately take a turn for the worse when the couple decides to fight back.




Boy am I glad I didnt pay money to see this in the theatre! This movie was EXTREMLY boring and stupid. I mean who takes revenge on a nice interacial couple because your wife was having an affair with a white guy?? The pacing on this movie made it feel like you had been watching it for 3 hours (the running time is around an hour and 40 mins.), and then when the climax comes instead of being suprised, your actually glad this thing was over. The only good thing I had to say was the casting of Patrick Wilson. That man deserves a better script and a better movie than this. I would not recommend this movie.
