Our thoughts: “Obsessed” is one of the worst thrillers I’ve seen in a very long time, but it certainly passes as a great comedy. To be honest, the utter ridiculousness of this mess of a movie really amused me, and I caught myself laughing quite often during the dreadful 105 minutes.

Beyoncé kicks butt in 'Obsessed' trailer

I should warn you: if you're serious about wanting to watch "Obsessed" without knowing beforehand what's going to happen, you may want to skip this trailer, because it literally shows the whole film in two minutes.

Then again, that's often the case with these predictable thrillers. Anyway, if you don't care and would like to see Beyoncé Knowles fight with Ali Larter, enjoy the preview for Steve Shill's upcoming flick after the jump.

In the flick, Derek Charles (Idris Elba), a successful asset manager who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage to the beautiful Beth (Knowles). But when Lisa (Larter), a temp worker, starts stalking Derek, everything he's worked so hard for, are placed in jeopardy.

Yeah, as I said, this one doesn't particularly innovative or suspenseful. If you've got a thing for either one of the leading ladies, however, you may want to give it a try when the film opens April 24, 2009.
