It would be easy shorthand to describe "Obsessed" as "Fatal Attraction" with more diverse casting, but it wouldn't be entirely true. This new thriller, though a glossy, perfectly serviceable t
ime passer, lacks both the heat and the moral ambiguity that made the 1980s classic so compellingly complex.That's mainly because the liaison here between Idris Elba's sturdy asset manager Derek and gorgeous office temp/delusional stalker Lisa (Ali Larter) never becomes as irrefutable as the Michael Douglas- Glenn Close attraction that proved so, well, fatal. This one's a lot more one-sided, which, for better or worse, makes Derek more safely sympathetic than
Douglas' straying Dan.
