Well, ya'll i just came back from this premere. I have to say its the best entertaining drama ive ever seen; especially on the big screen. I didn't get bored for 1 second. I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen throught the movie. Its a very intense story about a young interracial couple finally moves to a neighbor hood called lakeview terrace, where they wanna spend the rest of their lives at. Though, they're is something strange about their next door neighbor; Abel Turner. Their neighbor turns out to be a Los Angelas Police Officer that interupts and trys to destroy the couple's lives. See, i understand when i was watching this i relized that he was a cop being a father to his daughter and son. I also relized that he was protecting his neighborhood, by keeping an eye on everything that goes on. It took me a while to figure out why he was trying to break up the couple. Abel, didn't like that they were interracial. So, they're were two parts to the story instead of 1; which i was thinking. Thats what makes Samuel L. Jackson's character so powerful. This has lots of suspense;which i don't wanna give away because it will definetly ruin it for anybody that hasn't seen it. I'll just tell ya that it will surprise you just as it surprised me. Its very violent for a PG-13 rating. Its very intense, racist and disturbing.
All the actors did great; especially Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson, is the man! What i like about Jackson, he makes his character soooo outstanding. His performance in every single one of his movies amazes me. I have to say this is Samuel L. Jackson's best performance so far. I mean that. If you don't believe me go see LVT. After you watch it you'll see what i mean. Patrick Wilson did an outsatnding job, playing the role as Chris Madsen. Patrick's character was real serious. What ever Chris had to do to stop Abel from ruin their lives, he always had ideas to handle the situation. If i remember i think this is his 1st movie. Wow! What a performance by him. Im hoping to see him in more great movies in the future. Last, but not least Kerri Washington. Oh Man! How sexy is she? SEXY! Let me tell ya. Kerri, is the sexiest black girl ever. She played Lisa Madsen in a very sexy role as Chris's wife. They're was some parts that Kerri, got a little carried away on her acting at the first part of the movie. As the movie went on, she was outstanding. If i recall i think this is Kerri's 1st thriller and she did great.
So, go see LVT as soon as u can. You'll enjoy and be entertained throughout.
WHAT COULD BE SAFER THAN LIVING NEXT TO A COP?

MCT:November 12, 2008Not to bad of a movie, but nothing too extraordinary. Story, while done well ,was not too original or inspired. The pace of the movie for the first half hour was too slow. Samuel L. Jackson played his role to his usual skill, which saved this movie from having a 2 and 1/2 rating. Watch this movie on a night that you have nothing else to do, but don`t expect too much.

MCT:November 9, 2008All about a young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) who has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship. A stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly harassing to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives ultimately turn tragic when the couple decides to fight back. I would say this is a "so-so" movie; so u see it-so u don't!

MCT:November 4, 2008Was an alright movie. The story wasn't that impressive just shows cops turned badly. It didn't have an explanation why the couples could not live together. The cast was ok but the acting was a bit over the top.

This movie was so damn predictable, it was annoying. I didn't enjoy it, I didn't expect much from it, and for that I thought I would at least enjoy it a little, but he was just too much of an asshole, and Patrick Wilson's charachter just kept falling into his trap everytime.

Pretty good movie. Could have a little more action for me. After all the suspense you have built up, they could've done a little better. Good story though.

More crooked copness... or so it appears as hinted by the trailer. Turns out the cop ain't just a psychopathic Sam Jackson, but a psychopathic Sam Jackson with a... reasonable explanation (sort of). He's got a few loose screws, but he's an angry bigoted sumbitch. Just a guy who disapproves of an interracial couple who just moved in next door. Somehow the guy just loves to harass his new neighbors just 'cause he's got a badge on his side. The filmmakers want you to hate Sam Jackson, and I guess they succeed there.
But then the movie shifts into drama at some parts; mostly scenes that deal with the issue and characters trying to settle these differences. The sweet couple is cute enough to make you wanna eat 'em up; so perfect and whatnot. Then Sam steps in to fuck around with 'em, probably just because he can. Or maybe, he's just the annoying neighbor. What's his motive? Dunno... he explains a personal story that supposedly tells what set him off, but then again, he's a rough cop manhandling his suspects violently. Maybe he was all fucked up to begin with.
The trailer's misleading, the couple are lame and love to play it by the books, but a better script would've probably made things a bit better. Or maybe just focus solely on Sam Jackson's character since he's the only interesting person on the screen, and the sole character better developed, even though his actions and past are left in the blue. Maybe that's a good thing? -

Neighbors gone wild that's what it should be called, Samuel Jackson is the most psycho neighbor ever, if he was my neighbor i would have definitely moved, but first burn his house seriously, i just wanted nothing more than punch him in that ugly face while watching this movie. A young interracial couple move into their dream home and are increasingly harassed by their next-door neighbor, a tightly wound black LAPD officer. When the couple decides to fight back the feud turns deadly.

A bit over-the-top acting from Samuel L Jackson, and some unrealistic situations, but tense at times.
-
MCT:October 17, 2008
Pretty decent movie. Sam Jackson is always as good and highly emotional as ever. The plot was pretty good, but coming towards the end I thought it started getting a little crazy. On a scale from one to ten I rate this movie a 7. I would recommend it...but you can wait until DVD release.

i went to see lakeview terrace with very litt expectations. man, i have to tell u, after this movie was over with i was completely blown away of how great this movie turned out. it was a very entertaining intense thriller. it kept me entertained & interested from start to finsh. it never had any boring spots which was good. it holds ur attention till the very end. samuel l. jackson loves to do wat he does best & that is stealing the show. he is basically wat made this movie worth watching. he gives a break through perfomance as a cop named abel tuner who atalks this new couple chirs & lisa mattson who moves next door to him. he starts to disturb the couple when he sees a interracial relationship between them. as the disturbing content grows, the couple starts to fight back abel by harassing him the same way he did to them. this is a must see for all viewers. overall i recommend this movie for suspense thriller & samuel l. jackson fans. it is one not to be missed. the best movie of the fall & year so far, 5 stars.

I felt like I was watching a reverse racism movie. Which was really weird. I can't stand racism of any sort.

MCT:October 15, 2008
It was actually a really good movie. Sam Jackson is the only person that could have played this part.

MCT:October 15, 2008
Makes you think twice about the current law enforcement that we have. Mr Jackson really carried the role well!!

This movie keeps your stomach in knots. I would have handled things quite differently if it was me dealing with a neighbor like this. Not a bad flick for adults to see.

MCT:October 14, 2008Another movie that looked good but was disapointing. I almost walked out of the theatre from it being so boring!

Thriller , some funny moments. The back story is a wild fire heading towards their homes.When I turned on the news that night that was the lead story a wild fire burning in the Lakeview Terrace area.

this movie is a true thriller! I didnt know wut was gonna happen in several parts in the film, great performance by jackson!

MCT:October 13, 2008
heh it was kinda fun watching Sammy J in this role. Abel Turner is reminiscent of Michael Douglas' "D-Fens" character in Falling Down, come to think of it wouldn't it be awesome to see two go head-to-head Freddy Vs Jason style. Hello hollywood are u listening? This is film making gold just waiting to be plundered people!
