First of all, even though I'm not a huge fan, I thought Mark Wahlberg's performance was great in this. Reese Witherspoon... I'm not so sure. Her character was dull and uninteresting. I don't know whether the character was written this way or it was the actress's interpretation of it, but even though she was supposed to be the leading female, she felt more like a supporting character. Her character is so boring and average, you have no desire to root for her at all.
Another major distraction: Wahlberg's character seemed totally out of place with the rest of his partners-in-crime. Not only they looked much older, they were far more intimidating, and totally a different "breed" if you see what I mean. The actor was trying his best, and he did generally give out the menacing psychopathic stalker vibe, but the character was unconvincing at times. For instance, there should've been some kind of a back story on him. A bad boy like that who's seen all kinds, just doesn't develop an obsession this intense with a random chick after one date.
Despite the fact that the movie is far from realistic, it's still an entertaining watch and a solid stalker thriller.
