Samuel L. Jackson couldn't carry this film.

Can we be focused for once? Can we avoid so many multiple subjects that go in so many different directions that the core explodes by the end of a movie? 'Lakeview Terrace' follows a disturbing pattern of recent movies that include probably a dozen topics into two hours and then asks the viewer to sort them and then forget most of them by the closing.

Lakeview Terrace

Well Directed with a Decent script. Very well acted with Samuel L. Jackson giving a terrific performance, his best in years. and the highly underrated Kerry Washington giving a good performance as well. Good Plot uses every bit of what it can, making it Intense the whole way through.

Bad cop

This movie, played out exactly as I thought it would, it was your average suspense/thriller movie. You could always tell what was going to happen next so, where is the suspense in that. It was an ok movie if your a big samuel fan. I give it a 3/4 because of the potentail the movie could have had. But it is a good watch though...so yea check it out.
