This film reminded me of 1990 classic Pacific Heights with Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine. It had a little “creepy” field, but never the less it was very “Hollywood.”
The story was about a young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) who has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship.
What was so interesting about this story is the way they make the Samuel Jackson’s character disliked by everyone in the entire move; including his kids. I mean Hollywood made him such a villain that you had nothing to do, but dislike his character. I mean they could have made him have on good relationship, but he was not liked by anyone.
Apart from Jackson, the cast seems to work very well together. Patrick Wilson is a preppie white boy, perfectly fit for the role of the husband; he even enjoys hip-hop music But it is the role of the wife played by, Kerry Washington who really brings the movie together. She has come a long way from “Save The Last Dance.” After she played in “Ray,” her career took another course. In the role of Lisa, she is the most likeable character it seems in the film and shows lots of emotion.
I recommend seeing this movie! It is also produced by Will Smith.
