La duplicité de Tyler Perry

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.

So Marley and her private investigator husband live in this really nice house. One day she gets mad at her husband and when he gets home, she's downstairs with a blanket and she informs him that he has to sleep on the couch. The only problem is that just by looking at the house, you know there absolutely has to be at least one additional bedroom in that house. Prior to this scene, he had made Marley some breakfast and told her "it's not much, but I made it with love". See, people don't actually talk like this in real life but I'm not sure if Tyler knows this. It's pretty cringe when Tyler tries to write using expletives and there's a little bit of that here. And TP knows absolutely nothing about nuance. He'll write dialogue like: "don't think I forgot that you faked that slip and fall 5 years ago and got that $32,000 settlement". Like bro...you've made a ton of money and I'm sure there's far more talented writers who just need an opportunity. How about you give them that opportunity?

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.

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.

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.
