In Lakeview Terrace, a young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) 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 (Samuel L. Jackson) 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. These persistent intrusions into their lives ultimately turn tragic when the couple decides to fight back.
This movie was just plain stupid. I totally get neighbors squabbling and what not, but this was beyond over the top and a completely pointless movie. When will Samuel Jackson stop making such pieces of crap? At no point - did you not know what was going to happen in this "suspense" movie, hence . . . . no suspense. At no point are you able to be afraid of scary cop next door guy. I actually found myself laughing - A LOT - at this movie even though it was in no way supposed to be funny.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Not in theaters. Not on rental. This pile of dung would even be a tough sell on cable.
