Great psycho film. Kept me gripped all the way through

As a black person i rarely watch black movies because let's face it - most black films are terrible, stereotypical along with bad-acting and rubbish story lines. But 'The Perfect Guy' is definitely not in that category. This film is a decent obsession thriller with good performances, the movie is unpredictable at times, and will have you glued to the screen wanting to know what will happen next.One can only do so much with a romantic-obsession flick, so the plot is understandably common, but the overall movie is very well-put-together that it's still very watchable. I'm glad that this didn't turn into a 'Fatal Attraction' style film with the killing of an innocent animal. There is a cat in this film, but thank God no harm came to him and no harm was even attempted.On Wikipedia it says that the film was mostly shot at night and that they used 'Available Light' when shooting during the day to give the film a 'mysterious' look because the director wanted the film to be dark. (It is a dark film to a certain point, but i can not call this a 100% dark motion picture, if it was actually a dark film i personally wouldn't watch it, i love thrillers, but if the plot or any scenes/circumstance/situation is too dark, i'm staying away from it).The bad guy in this movie is subtle, but don't be fooled, a bad guy character doesn't always have to be an 'Alex Forrest' style character. We see a lot of interesting things about the personality of this bad guy played very well by Michael Ealy, this character "Carter" is manipulative, sneaky, clever and unforeseeable.The Perfect Guy - A must-watch thriller.

How on earth this has got any good reviews is beyond me it was utter trash! The music that was on constantly sounded like it was from a bad 70s horror film!! I was constantly waiting for some axe murderer in a mask to show up as that's what the music made it sound like. The acting was awful and the writing terrible some of the cheesy lines the main characters were spouting off seriously was making me cringe, and I like cheesy movies! Ican't comment on the ending as I turned it off before the end, and I NEVER do that I always watch things to the end even if I don't like the film as I always want to know how it ends but I couldn't bring myself to watch any more as it was so boring so cringe and I couldn't take any more, it was that bad! Don't waste your time watching this.

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.
