Secret Obsession

I was in trouble in the opening scenes when she couldn't get her car started, but the windshield wipers were working.

"Secret Obsession" is one of those thrillers with the plot predictable from the beginning. The title and the trailer are spoilers, the use of clichés is amazing, and the film is very disappointing despite the name of Dennis Haysbert in the cast. The drama is shallow, and the mystery is inexistant. The beautiful house and the landscapes in California are worthwhile watching. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Obsessão Secreta" ("Secret Obsession")

Do not waste your time. Netflix seems to be giving everyone money to make movies without caring about the finished product. Bad plot + bad screenplay + bad acting = bad movie.

This film is based on a completely improbable scenario: Russell (Mike Vogel) is apparently a smooth tempered and fulfilled man but he is actually 'relatively' unbalanced. Thus, he will implement a far-fetched stratagem in order to capture Jennifer (Brenda Song), the woman he loves unilaterally, while she is not even aware of his attraction to her. Despite the presence of Dennis Haysbert with his mesmerizing voice, the film is strongly disappointing. I do not really known how but I unexpectedly managed to see the movie until the end. Please do not make the same mistake and do not even start it!

As a synthesis: 2/3 of 10

Couldn't stop thinking that this was an Allstate commercial. Overall movie was predictable and hilarious! Russell's photoshopping skills gave him away.
