Lakeview Terrace By kristyh on Feb 04, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I seen the preview of this movie and then rented the movie from my local redbox. The movie was good although a little generic. The movie was good but a little different than I thought it would be. I thought it would be more suspenseful than it was. This is a movie with a lot of underlying complications. Samuel L. Jackson plays a man named Abel who is a cop. Abel gets new neighbors, Chris (Patrick Wilson) and Lisa (Kerry Washington). Abel does not like Chris who is white and his black wife Lisa. Abel has hate/jelousy like feelings toward his new neighbors. The acting in this movie was very good. The movie has an excellent cast. The storyline starts of strong and engaging then slows down a little toward the middle, but picks up again at the ending. The movie is worth seeing, but I wish it would have been a little clearer on the character backgrounds. While watching the movie, there were times when I was wondering, "What does this have to do with the anything?". The movie also could have been a little more suspensful. Still flaws and all I would recommend seeing this movie at least once. Break out the popcorn and rent this movie for a night at home.
