Lakeview Terrace (2008)

Sam Jackson's best performance to date!!

[8/10 · 19 September 2008]

First of all, I want to say that Samuel L. Jackson's performance was absolutely "creepy" and he nailed perfectly!!! Back to the movie and it definitely surpassed my expectations (had high expectations for this movie). The movie had some twist & turns, some good laughs and was pretty intense. The movie starts off slow and then in the middle, it started to get interesting because Jackson's character starts to act like a lunatic and that's what so creepy about his character, he's very creepy and crazy. He wants the interracial couple movers play by (Wilson & Washington) to move out of his neighborhood and they don't want to because they want it to start a nice life and try to give it a few days so that they could work out their plans and have kids but Abel Turner (Jackson) had other ideas. He has two kids and want to raise them to be good kids and get respect the way he did in his childhood. Suddenly, they both were looking at the couple making out in the swimming pool and once Jackson's character sees that, he starts to get crazy and wild!! All hell breaks loose from there!! It was a pretty good movie, the performances were good, the plot was interesting and is very entertaining!! It's well worth your 2 hours, go and see it!!!
