Leider wohnen sie neben dem verwitweten afroamerikanischen Polizisten Abel Turner (Samuel L. Jackson), der auf den ersten Blick ein freundlicher Zeitgenosse zu sein scheint. Dann aber beginnt der psychotische Kontrollfreak mit perfiden Methoden seine neuen Nachbarn zu terrorisieren.
Packender Psychothriller mit "Pulp Fiction"-Killer Samuel L. Jackson, der sein Handwerk nicht verlernt hat und einen besonders üblen Cop darstellt, der Wut und Rassismus als Brennstoff braucht. Regisseur Neil LaBute ("In the Company of Men") orientiert sich an der Botschaft von "L.A. Crash".
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.
