In Lakeview Terrace, a young couple has 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, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer has appointed himself 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.

Joyless and airless suspense thriller.

Yes but it's full of retards who think mediocre/shit films are 10/10 worthy

 

 

Maybe, but those people and those alike will be posting in this thread so what makes it different? :thinking: Movie reviews are opinionative. I'll just be merged with the previous.

Yes but you can be wrong.

 

If someone said White Chicks was the best film ever, I would have every right to not respect their opinion

HA. :P

 

 

It actually has an end. It's just ridiculous.

I guess it's never-ending because you fall asleep every time you watch it before you reach the end.:rolleyes:

 

 

If people truly want to get movie reviews, than they should and will go to rottentomatoes.com, not this thread of the coldplay forum

Love that site

Was it meant to be funny? It's by no means a comedy

 

it has loads of subtleties, which is something I love in a movie. The Soundtrack was brilliant too.

 

You just discredited your own opinion by saying you weren't in the mood for a movie and you were tired

 

I disliked Star Wars when I was in that kind of mood, that is profound
