The Perfect Man
Sanaa Lathan plays a woman trying to escape an abusive and obsessed ex, played by Michael Ealy.
According to USA Today,
Lathan plays successful lobbyist Leah Vaughn, who jumps into a passionate relationship with the seemingly flawless Carter Duncan (Ealy) in the David M. Rosenthal-directed film (in theaters Sept. 11).
It’s wonderful until Carter shows his true colors when he brutally beats an innocent stranger. That’s just the tip of the crazy iceberg. As Leah returns to the arms of her ex (Morris Chestnut), Carter starts spying on her, breaking into her house and threatening her.
