  • Starring: Kerry Washington, Patrick Wilson, Samuel L. Jackson
  • Summary: 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. These persistent intrusions into their lives ultimately turn tragic when the couple decides to fight back. (Sony Pictures)… Expand

    I find movies like this alive and provoking, and I'm exhilarated to have my thinking challenged at every step of the way.

    As a thriller it's solid three-star tension. As a Samuel L. Jackson showcase it proves a man can only coast through so many motherfuckin' or milquetoastin' turns before having to display his full and overpowering talent.

    Delivers fairly tense and engrossing drama before succumbing to thriller convention.

    Starts out mixing social burlesques and melodrama and ends up one more failed thriller about men behaving badly - and stupidly.

    Lakeview Terrace may have quite a few plot holes, but it will definitely keep you guessing. The ending may be a bit quick and questionable, but it is very suspenseful.… Expand

    A movie about police brutality, overprotection of children, and racism regarding biracial relationships. A terrific performance by Sam L. Jackson.

    Arguably the dumbest movie ever made.
