Lakeview Terrace

You don't have to be an Angelino to enjoy this movie. This story could play out anywhere. But it adds another layer to the story if you are familiar with the locations involved. While the name of the actual bedroom community is slightly changed for the film, the places are real.

Samuel L. Jackson puts in another great performance doing what he does so well - an angry black man. This character has a few deeper layers and Jackson does a wonderful job of evolving. For whatever reason, I don't get tired of seeing him work this way even though I know he can do other things just as well.

Patrick Wilson who plays completely opposite to Jackson's character is also excellent. You start out not thinking much of this guy, and favoring Jackson's character, and the roles reverse over the course of the story. No spoilers here.

Watch this movie with someone who thinks living next door to a cop is the safest place in the world.
