Mea Culpa

Well what do you know another weak script written in 2 weeks by Mr Tyler Perry. Please sir give it up already. Please hire some real writers. This peace of crap looks like it was written in 2 weeks and shot in a week. Another mediocre attempt. Don't understand why he's just happy settling for crap. This man thinks very little of his fan base. He only gives them mediocre and feels that it is good enough. My question to Mr Perry what's wrong with being great? You don't think your fans deserve better....and you wonder why your work is never rewarded. Maybe come up with.the concept and hire professional writers to execute.

The poster and preview of this movie make it seem like a decent drama.

As Law and Order fans I thought it'd be a good crime/trial by jury type of movie but it turned into a mix of so many other genres which makes it seem like the movie is trying to hard.

There are some parts which work and you sort of want to know what happens.

When it starts to drag a bit the movie just goes next level in the last 15 minutes and changes pace complelety.

There is also some weird components of this movie that are given no explanation whatsoever.

Like why does an Irish red head have two black sons?

It's not law and order its like Unforgiven with an un satisfying result.

I pressed play for Black History Month, however, there were no characters to root for. The last part of the movie was the worst a messy rush that didn't land. It was pretty decently shot but the script needs assistance...happy to see Kelly Rowland rocking her Fabletics work out wear in the movie (product promotion) The script was clearly written using a checklist, Crime - Act 1, Act 2 -Romance/Erotica (missing the urgency of the murder case), and the worst part Act 3-Thriller (suddenly, the movie remembers it hasn't been a thriller, only giving the viewers horrendous hints at it). As someone who has anxiety, I wasn't nervous about any of the so called thrills.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Right off the bat, the dialogue is ridiculous. Like, comically ridiculous. Within the first 15 minutes, I had to double check that this wasn't supposed to be a parody of thrillers. Like, how could someone write this and not intend it to be satirical? There's an evil mother in law that's so over the top, I'm convinced the writers just went to ChatGPT and asked it to write stereotypes. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if this entire script was AI-generated.

The movie is worsened by unnecessary sex scenes and bad acting. Is it supposed to be an erotic thriller or a murder mystery? Pick one and do it well, don't try to do both and fail. The romantic male lead is such a bad actor, I was laughing at some of his line deliveries. Honestly the best thing about this movie was the mystery element, which was painfully predictable and trite. I gave it a two cause I guess it could be worse?

This is yet another thriller with extremely stupid characters doing extremely stupid things. It is impossible for me to empathize with complete idiots who get involved in a dangerous and immoral sexual relationship with their client, without any proof of his innocence. The plot is just too forced, just not plausible. The film has no rhythm, no surprises, no emotion. The actors are soulless and have no chemistry, and the dialogues are banal, nearly comical. The ending is illogical. Did't appreciate it at all, I found a direction that was unable to involve me in the story that the screenplay wanted to tell.
