The premise is of course very cliché: a woman falls for a guy who turns out to be less perfect than he looked like, with serious anger issues and psychopathic behavior, and after she breaks up with him he begins to stalk and threaten her (and far worse!). Personally I don't mind a cliché that much, if it's done at least in an involving way, with a qualitative solid story and some fine acting. That's all the case in this movie. Leah (Sanaa Lathan) is beautiful and sympathetic, so you really care for her, and she gradually turns into this determined not-to-mess-with power woman, while Mr. (not so) Perfect (Michael Ealy) is at first smooth and charming, but soon after turns into a very convincing and blood chillingly dangerous creep. The movie has a good pace, there's some serious violence and the acting in the few supporting roles is fine.
So you care less that - as always in this type of movies - there are several illogical things. Like why didn't this intelligent and sophisticated woman do some internet research about this guy, before getting involved. Or change her locks. Or install a security system. Or hire a private detective. I could go on like this, but in the end it hardly marred my pleasure.
