Lakeview Terrace is the type of generic movie title that makes you feel absolutely nothing. It makes you think, like, "Hmmm. Another completely boring movie title for what's most likely a completely boring, run-of-the-mill movie. And, despite the appearance of the very easy-on-the-eyes Patrick Wilson, the trailer will do little to dissuade you of that notion. Basically, Wilson and his wife move in to a house next door to crazy-pants Samuel L. It's sort of House of Sand and Fog meets Disturbia, until ... we learn that Samuel L.'s a cop. So, he can pretty much get away with anything he wants to. Or, as Ron Glass tells our hero Mr. Wilson, "He has the color issue on his side. And that color happens to be ... blue." It only gets worse from there, because Samuel L.'s cop gets out of control, but so does Patrick Wilson in retaliation. It looks part thriller, part Samuel L. Jackson showboating machine. And we know those only come along a few times a year, so if you're into SLJ's most glorious scenery chewing, you don't want to miss this. If you, like most of the world, have had just about enough, you'd do well to stay away. Reviews By People Who've Actually Seen It:
