Running time: 110 mins. Starring: Samuel L Jackson, Patrick Wilson. Kerry Washington, Regine Nehy, Jaishon Fisher, Jay Hernandez, Ron Glass, Justin Chambers. Director: Neil LaBute.
Neil LaBute’s provocative, modern day drama looks at racial tensions in a desirable Californian cul-de-sac.
Samuel L Jackson stars as a cop-gone-bad Abe Turner who despises almost everybody, including himself.
He wallops his teenage daughter in public for disobeying his dictates, and thinks nothing of using his gun to cleanse the community of undesirable elements.
When a newly-wed couple move in next door, Abe does his best to scare them away.
The couple retaliate, making a bad situation even worse.
From here on in, Lakeview Terrace slips into a predictable game of cat and mouse.
