Lakeview Terrace stars Samuel L Jackson, as police officer Abel Turner, a pissed off widower who lives with his two children raising them on his own. Turner is a no nonsense strict father who routinely corrects his children's grammar and tries to instill a sense of "moral upbringing" in them...to a point that he hits his daughter for disobeying him.
Next door move in Chris and Lisa Mattson ( Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington ) and inter-racial couple, which ticks off Turner. From there on he begins to harass the Mattson`s and even berates them in front of there guests. And henceforth this film becomes nothing more than a "tragic" version of Ben Stillers Duplex.
Abel Turners character is shown as a complicated individual. You cant make up your mind whether to root for him or curse him. There are times where he is shown to be an upright, morally high standing individual and at other times his darker side comes out and you just wish a lightening bolt struck him and killed him instantly. He for example gets along well with his Chinese, and white neighbours but is a constant pain for Chris and Lisa. Its difficult for the viewer to make up there mind whether the guy is a scum racist or is angry because of the situation hes fallen in after his wife died.
As for the protagonists, Chris Mattson seems to be almost at boiling point, but just as you think hes about to take a swing at Turner, he backs off quietly. His wife Lisa, is of similar demeanour as well. Apart from a crazy ass neighbour there own families are also not over joyed at there inter-racial marriage and this aspect is also delved into as a sub plot in the film.
Acting wise, Samuel L Jackson carries this movie solely on his shoulders. Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington do try too measure up, but fall short as the intensity is missing. Its there, but it never really comes out. Even in the ending, which is quite dramatic in nature, the viewers are not really sucked into the film as they should have been. A good film has you putting yourself in the shoes of the characters, especially in the endings...but here one seems to be viewing from a distance, the events unfolding outside the Mattson`s house in the end of the flick.
Final result is thus 6/10. The movie is watchable but its certainly not a "drop all things and immediately watch this" type of film.
