This is a Steve Shill thriller film which sees Derek Charles played by Idris Elba who is newly promoted Executive Vice President who is happily married to Sharon Charles (Beyonce Knowles) and father to son Kyle.
Lisa Sheridan (Ali Larter) starts as a new temp who job is Personal assistant to who ever needs the help. On her first day she bumps into Derek Charles where he helps her pick her papers up that she has dropped. She believes there is a spark that has been lit between them and she decides to try and persuade him to leave his family for her. Lisa tries everything in her power to get her man but Derek tries to resist.
For me this film was a brilliant watch, yes ok some of the acting is questionable but to be honest the plot keeps this film running well. I really think that this is a prime example a b class movie with a all star class that has done really well.
Beyonce Knowles plays a brilliant part as a wife who is trying to make her own way in life then is thrown a problem when she finds out her husband could be cheating on her. She plays a simple role that does not require much thought from the singer turned actress but she pulls of this part very well and she manages with the emotional parts very well.
Ali Larter for me plays the best part, a women desperate to get what she wants and shows a evil side to do this. Ali played a very good role in Heroes as a evil heroes superbly well and has developed that into this part. I really believe that roles like this were designed for her, she reminds me of a potential Sharon Stone. Everything about what she does just seems to be brilliant, she could make a nun look evil.
I would rate this film a high 9/10.
I would recomend that you go and buy or rent this film.
