Featured reviews
In more recent years we have had 'THE BOY NEXT DOOR (2015)' with Jennifer Lopez 'OBSESSED (2009)' with Idris Elba and 'NO GOOD DEED (2015)' also with Idris Elba but playing against Taraji P Henson instead of Beyonce.
You know the charming stranger who's actually slightly insane kind of movie that attempts at being both thrilling and sexy.
And where as I enjoyed the aforementioned movies I can't say the same about this one.
It's not the worst of it's kind or anything but it's so unremarkable in every way, there isn't even scenes that could make it enjoyable in 'so bad it's good' kind of way either, it's just really bland.
And that's a shame because I like all the main actors in it MICHAEL EALY, SANNA LATHAN and MORRIS CHESTNUT are all accomplished actors in other films, but the problem with this movie is granted not the cast but the script.
As you can probably understand 'the perfect guy' is not all that perfect, but he's so incredibly hollowly written. The twist is so out of the blue and it doesn't make any sense with how the character has been portrayed until this point. And the reaction, everything just goes way to quick. 'I don't know who you are anymore!' cringe-alert.
But that's not to say if the transition would have been a more smoother and natural one that it would have been much better.
As far as the sexiness goes, Sanna Lathan shows more skin on the poster than she does in the movie.
So yeah, not even that can they get right.

The perfect guy is the kind of flick your girlfriend is half way through watching when you get home and even though you know exactly what will happen scenes before they do, you sit down and watch the rest with your partner as it chugs along.
This was a flick I always said to watch when I wasn't there and I found myself enjoying it.
It's well paced, some solid supporting cast and the escalation of the antagonist doesn't feel forced.
Give it a shot.... When there's nothing else.

I went to see this movie based on various recommendations from friends. Inam a sucker for a good thriller. The actor mix is perfect and , even though some parts are predictable, you will definitely enjoy the movie. I loved the main trio and their performances. This movie can be considered a life lesson because you don't really know who is that you are dating out there. Watch till the end,nice twists.
I liked that the characters are not typical and that some boundaries are actually pushed in this movie. I went w my bf and a friend and all three of us agreed it is a nice movie, different than all the usual ones .

Good thriller ... lotsss of tension.
Little cliche story but with real psycho creepy staff. Dramatic.
Some stupid faults.. . but apart from that quite realistic. Good acting !. I like the detective/police agent a lot..

- TriviaThe film was shot mostly at night using Sony digital cameras and anamorphic lenses. Much of the shooting used available light to create a "mysterious" look because "David wanted the film to be dark," according to the film's director of photography Peter Simonite.
- GoofsThe detective mentions getting a subpoena to search a suspect's apartment. Subpoenas are used to obtain records or compel someone to appear in court. If a dwelling is to be searched, a search warrant is the proper item to use. A seasoned detective would know the difference between the two.
