Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

atlasmb There are plenty of films about feuding neighbors. They play on our deeply-held feelings about home ownership (a man's castle) and the claustrophobic aspects of being surrounded by an evil that can't be appeased."Lakeview Terrace" adds elements of racism to the mix and ratchets up the dramatic suspense. Samuel L. Jackson is Abel Turner, a city cop who harbors hatred of interracial relationships for unknown reasons. His passive-aggressive dislike of his next door neighbors--Chris Mattson (Patrick Wilson) and Lisa Mattson (Kerry Washington)--blossoms into full-fledged overt hostility as the story unfolds.Officer Turner, and his fellow cops, routinely violate the rules, making the film a statement about police abuse of power, as well.About halfway through, however, the storyline includes some elements that feel false (i.e. untrue to the nature of the characters). Because of this, the film suffers, losing any moral focus.The acting is good across the board. It's too bad that the performances are betrayed by a script that loses a consistent vision. In the end, as a result, the film points its finger at a few social issues, but fails to deliver a convincing resolution of the issues or the dramatic tensions.

Floated2 Lakeview Terrace stars Samuel L. Jackson as an obsessive cop named Abel Turner and Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington as Chris and Lisa, a newly couple moving into the neighborhood.This film is interesting for the portrayal of the characters, although it is a typical predictable cop drama, which has been seen several times. On their side, Chris and Lisa think it's probably a good thing to have a cop living beside them. At first. The ending of the film is somewhat predictable as we knew everything would break lose as it was time to end. It could have been done better with a better twist but it was solid.Lakeview Terrance only problem is that, it is not much of a thriller, as it has been labeled. Samuel L. Jackson's character wasn't creepy or disturbing enough to warrant many thrills, he was more so just uptight, strict and a tough "by the law" officer type. This film falls more under a drama than thriller as it was predictable and a straight up story.

FilmBuff1994 Lakeview Terrace is a very poor movie with a dull storyline and an overall uninspired cast.Samuel L. Jackson does a great job and will always be an outstanding actor,but he still wasn't enough to make this movie decent,the only scenes that I really liked were when we got to see his character working for the LAPD,which we saw very little of.Kerry Washington did the best she could with the character she was given,sadly it was a boring character that lacked any interesting personality traits,but I found Patrick Wilson's character very annoying,he wouldn't stick up to Jackson's character and couldn't defend his own household and I found the character unlikeable.Lakeview Terrace is a really slow and mediocre movie that I think people would be better off avoiding.A racist veteran LAPD cop starts a violent campaign of intimidation and harassment against his new neighbours because of their interracial relationship. Best Performance: Samuel L. Jackson Worst Performance: Patrick Wilson

deatman9 This movie is actullay turned out to be pretty watchable. I went into it with low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. It of course has its flaws. The whole premise of the story is kind of unbelievable. Though if you take your head out of it and just enjoy it is quite good.This movie is about an interracial couple that move in to a house next door to a cop. This cop is an apparent bigot and does not like the fact that the white man is with a black lady. Right away he starts harrasing them and the harassment just keeps getting more extreme.Like I said if you tend to not think about movies much as you watch them by all means this will be a great watch the acting is above par for sure and there is some good scenes. If you are like me and think
