Plot summary

A young interracial couple has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their relationship. A tightly wound LAPD officer has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly aggressive to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives cause the couple to fight back.

actually 4-5

The movie itself might only have gotten 4 to 5 stars from me, weren't it for the cast. And while Patrick Wilson is pretty good in his lead role, Samuel L. Jackson is the one who shines. His performance does truly elevate this movie onto a level it couldn't have reached without him!

His presence is really phenomenal and when he is on screen you can feel his aura. When he delivers his dialogue it's pretty strong, even if the dialogue itself might not be the best, his interpretation of it, makes it stronger. There is one particular dialogue scene, where he is really showing a different side of his character (look for the "Whatever" speech).

Sadly the movie has also quite a few low points, which would be weighing a lot more, if Samuel weren't to play the foe here. Some clichés and the predictability of the whole thing/story. Still worth a watch, if alone (and I can't point that out enough) for Samuel's performance!

Tense, captivating and bold

An excellent story about a dirty cop for a neighbor and Patrick Wilson's character not being able to do much about it. Great that it's not the type to contrive racist things all over it instead it's more subtle. I love how the movie gets away with 2 f bombs! Lakeview Terrace is under appreciated and highly entertaining in my opinion; deserves more credit!

Neighborhood spate I like to avoid

Abel Turner (Samuel L. Jackson) is a tough aggressive LAPD officer living with his two kids with lots of rules. Chris Mattson (Patrick Wilson) and Lisa (Kerry Washington) move in next door. Abel isn't happy with the couple, and tension rises.

Director Neil LaBute is supposedly putting together a little treatise on racial politics. But it's really just a way to a cheap thriller. The problem is nobody is likable. Nobody is compelling. It's the annoying neighborhood spate that everybody rolls their eyes at while desperately trying to avoid. That's what I feel when I watch this. I like to avoid this if at all possible.
