Duplicidad

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.

Super slow moving unbelievable, literally impossible, plot, so NOT great crime, couldn't happen in a million years, like a high schooler's 1st attempt at a crime novel, with a ton of gaping holes, great actors and actresses but the script drags on and it looks like the actors themselves are having trouble figuring out which part of the plot they are in, the reactions don't always match the storyline. The last 2 minutes did have one great scene where the summary of how we should as a society face police shootings was a great line. So, wait for the movie to be free and watch the last 2 minutes; you will get the point I'm sure Tyler Perry had in mind. Following the storyline also makes the viewer have to struggle to put it together, because it's a puzzle of plots that don't quite fit, like struggling to put together a puzzle and realizing it's a collage of mismatched images with several plots, not interconnected, a puzzle with several images within one. LIke a story written by several different people who didn't know for sure what the other writers were going to write.

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.

It started out okay. The premise wasn't amazing, but it had just enough going on to keep me watching. The setup hinted at something interesting-maybe a decent thriller-but that potential quickly fades.

The plot becomes painfully predictable. Every twist is telegraphed well in advance, and what should've been suspenseful ends up feeling like a checklist of overused tropes.

I felt sorry for Kat Graham being surrounded by such bad actors. Some of the acting is just dire. Honestly, it feels like half the cast is reading lines off cue cards.

Kat Graham stands out as the only actor who seems to be trying, and it's a shame she's surrounded by performances that drag everything down. She deserves better.

The dialogue doesn't help. At times it's melodramatic, at others it's painfully flat. Combined with inconsistent pacing and clunky scene transitions, the whole thing starts to feel like a rushed soap opera.

And then there's the ending. Ridiculous doesn't even begin to cover it. Implausible, rushed, and honestly kind of insulting. After sticking it out, you're rewarded with a conclusion that doesn't make sense and completely undermines whatever buildup there was.

In short: a forgettable, frustrating film that wastes both its audience's time and Kat Graham's talent. Tyler Perry has done better. This one misses the mark by a mile..

This is a misfire on nearly every front. It trivializes serious issues like police shootings for shallow plot twists, offering no real insight. The storyline is convoluted and implausible, with poorly developed characters acting without logic. The direction feels lazy, the dialogue is clunky, and recycled scenes (like the boat climax from Acrimony) add to the déjà vu. Visually, it looks like outdated TV. Instead of evolving, Perry leans on tired tropes and shock value.

I honestly don't know why people bother with the same regurgitated style of movies he produces. It's now packed with more agenda than before.

He's made his money from the gullible black church community and should move on! Don't watch it but hey, everyone to their own.
