SET In the seemingly benign surroundings of present-day Brooklyn, The Resident propels a smart, intelligent woman into a living hell when she realises that her dream apartment is too good to be true.
Newly divorced ER doctor Juliet Devereau (Hilary Swank) has sworn herself off men after ex-husband Jack (Lee Pace) cheated with another woman.
She moves out and is thrilled to find a newly- renovated sixth floor apartment with a hunky yet shy landlord, Max. Over the coming days, Juliet grows close to Max and her colleague Sydney encourages the relationship. However, Juliet hasn't fully recovered from the breakdown of her marriage and has a nagging feeling that she is being watched. The Resident is a rather tame and old-fashioned take on the unsuspecting heroine in peril, anchored by a typically strident performance from two-time Oscar winner Swank. Unfortunately, there's little in the script to test her acting mettle.
