Mea Culpa

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.

This movie is dull and put on. It has the feel of a Lifetime movie but less interesting. Kelly Rowland plays a supposed tough Chicago lawyer but her character doesn't translate the grit or depth that a tough lawyer character should have. She has only one note and an expressionless face. The only expression that helps her is when she smiles which she should play more roles that would allow that. And the lead actor.... Ug! He's terrible! He can't deliver a line to save his life! He doesn't come off like an artist at all, he comes off like a professional athlete attempting to deliver a line like a cheesy commercial. I lost interest way early on. The characters are all dimensionless, vapid and predictable. The story could have been better with the right actors and director but this one is awful. I'm going to try and finish it but I'm not interested enough to do so.

I don't know what netflix were thinking with getting the rights to this. Waste of money for them and for Tyler Perry to. This movie has no substance really and for most of it's two hour running time it's boring. Kelly Roland is a singer that's joint the acting clan and she shouldn't have. She plays mea here, a defense attorney that's hired by a guy that was accused of killing his girlfriend. As you can guess they fall for one another and yada yada yada. I think the acting was pretty bad and the script might have been written by someone that can't. Overall the made for TV thrillers are better than this movie it was sad really because it could have had potential and the sex scenes were just awkward to watch.

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.
