But then we have other issues starting with a lot of terrible and flat characters which almost feel like they have come out of a pantomime with over the top facial expressions. The irony of this is that whilst in storyline 'The Perfect Assistant' doesn't offer anything new it could have worked as an average take on this sort of obsessed woman drama. The fact we have a storyline which starts with David's wife becoming seriously ill and Rachel stepping in to look after his daughter isn't new either because all this means is that she manipulates her way in to the child's life as well. That means she murders, manipulates and schemes her way into her boss's life, silencing those who are a threat, poisoning those who could get in the way and becoming so pivotal that her boss can't function without her. The fact that here we have Rachel being the assistant to the man she is obsessed with is of little consequence as this is a text book obsessed woman movie and nothing more.
