La duplicité de Tyler Perry

Tyler once said he writes his scripts in a week and from this film.. we can see. There were so many plot holes, and although the plot twists were good it just left me with more questions. After the movie, I had to rewind to the beginning to see if I was just stupid or if he really just did not take enough time to write a full and complete story. I love supporting black people but Tyler what the hell?? I shouldn't need a thorough explanation video after watching a Tyler Perry movie... The scene where the white woman says she doesn't want to talk to the attorney anymore and she just turns around and the camera is still on her will be ingrained in my brain forever. We need you to spend more time writing Tyler, I just don't understand.

I recently watched Tyler Perry's new movie "Duplicity," and I'd like to share my thoughts without giving away any plot details for those who haven't seen it yet. From the outset, the film's direction is fairly predictable, adhering to a familiar formula seen in many of Perry's previous works. As such, there isn't much suspense, and it's easy to foresee how the story unfolds.

While the cast comprises talented actors, the film ultimately falls short for me. Many of the issues presented are glossed over, lacking the necessary buildup and depth. I believe the movie would have benefited from more background information and character development, allowing viewers to connect more deeply with the characters.

The ending offers some action, but it's limited to the last 20 minutes of the nearly two-hour runtime. This leaves the rest of the movie feeling drawn out, with many moments where more development could have enriched the story. Unfortunately, this seems to be a case where Tyler Perry missed the mark.

The film had the potential to be great, but its lack of character development and predictability hindered its impact. One central theme, the issue of police shootings of unarmed Black men and the societal response to such events, deserved more attention and exploration. This aspect, in particular, could have been a powerful focal point.

I admire Tyler Perry as a director, but I feel that both he and his team often miss opportunities to delve deeper into important themes and character arcs. There are numerous elements in his films that could take center stage but remain underdeveloped. As a result, "Duplicity" didn't quite resonate with me as much as I had hoped.

Interesting Amazon original movie.

It is a modest police thriller, in some ways also with a fairly predictable ending, which however has the greatest merit of addressing, in a fairly clear and understandable way, also some socially burning and politically always very current issues, namely the training techniques of police officers, the superficial and approximate way of closing certain legal cases through plea bargaining, the domestic violence and, above all, the racism.

Aesthetically, the work is very good, filmed in 4K, it is practically free from criticism.

In my humble opinion, it is worth seeing, provided that one has a certain indulgence towards certain glaring interpretative errors (even on the part of the protagonists, unfortunately). It is certainly not a boring movie, even if, as already mentioned, it lacks originality.

Okay, the film isn't Oscar worthy, but it's also not 3 hrs long. Yes, the acting wasn't the best, and some parts were very well over acted, but the plot twists more than made up for its deficiencies. It's "free" on Prime and worth the watch, so enjoy the movie. It's just over 90 minutes long.

I think it also did well addressing current social issues with a positive message, like we can all do better. Thank you Tyler Perry for addressing issues that most filmmakers don't.

While I appreciate the comments to help me gauge a movie, some 5's are on the cusp of becoming a good to a very good movie.

I'm calling on all script writers and movie directors to take a little bit more time and flesh out a better "ending" for your films TV projects. A lot of of the shows and movies that I watch nowadays, including this particular movie, starts out interestingly enough and pique your interest with a plot that is filled with potential only to sputter out at the end. I mean, come on, let's just do a little bit better. Let's just put a little bit more effort into the endings of films and shows. These film developers are getting millions of dollars to create these projects and it's like - when it's time to write an ending or shoot the conclusion they just rush to the finish line. It's not impossible. I remember watching episodes of Game of Thrones or episodes of Better Call Saul and/or the Ozark and by the end of the episode, right before the credits roll, you just sit there with your mouth wide open. More shows and movies could strive to make people have that feeling, it's not hard. And everything does not always need to be tied into a pretty little bow - you can be a bit daring and shocking in your art, it's OK. These movies and shows lure us In with a good plot potential and then we get let down over and over and over again. It's getting tiring and folks are pretty soon, just going to stop caring (at all) about the projects you develop.
