In Lakeview Terrace, a young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) 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. (Sony Pictures)

Como ressuscitar os temas de thriller mais conhecidos sobre os vizinhos psicopatas para que possamos vendê-los com uma cara séria e o público os consuma novamente? Colocamo-los num período histórico que todos associam ao desastre natural, especificamente nos incêndios florestais na Califórnia. Samuel L. Jackson esforça-se, e psicologicamente o filme é cuidadosamente construído, mas continua a ser apenas psicologia de género superficial de Hollywood concebida para entreter num sábado à noite com pipocas. Tipo, nada contra, crescemos com isso e ainda o consumimos repetidamente até hoje, mas por amor de Deus, será que uma reviravolta imaginativa teria realmente matado o argumentista?

Samuel L. Jackson saves this from being simply a mediocre thriller about crumbling relations with the neighbors. Personally, what I enjoyed most were the spiteful tricks that the two played on each other (especially what Jackson got up to). And the approaching forest fire fitted very nicely into the story.

Quite a good film with the perfectly written and acted character of Samuel L. Jackson. I was disappointed that towards the end the plot started to repeat itself a bit and go in a circle that brought nothing new. i.e., "the bad neighbour does something - the good neighbour tells him not to do it - the bad neighbour doesn't give a damn and keeps doing it and invents something new". The fire motif is a good idea, and I liked the magical music. It's a shame that at the expense of the sophistication of Jackson's racist, stunted cop, the script did little to make Patrick Wilson's character even remotely sympathetic.
