Lakeview Terrace

When a mixed-race couple move into their first home in suburban U.S.A., they are increasingly troubled by the man next door.

A black widowed cop (Samuel L. Jackson) with kids might seem like a safe, if officious neighbour, but the two families become involved in an escalating animosity, worsened by the fact that a veteran police officier has a position and credibility , especially with any cops who might be called to mediate.

The couple are confused, all the more so when they discover that other asian-born neighbours are delighted with their in-street security.
