Acrimony

'ACRIMONY': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

A thriller written and directed by Tyler Perry, about an obsessive but faithful wife, who seeks vengeance on her unfaithful but loving husband. The movie stars Taraji P. Henson, Lyriq Bent and Crystle Stewart. Like almost all of Perry's films, the movie got almost unanimous negative reviews from critics, but it was a hit at the Box Office though. I haven't watched a Tyler Perry movie in some time, but this one is definitely better than the earlier ones of his I saw years ago (which I hated). Still, this is far from a good movie, but it is at least amusing and somewhat involving. Also Henson is fantastic in the lead, like always. It's kind of like a more cheesy and contrived 'FATAL ATTRACTION', from the mind of Tyler Perry.

Wifey decided to put this on, and I followed suit to nap as I usually do during 'chick flicks'...I threw a few glances here and there, because the beginning was just like any other 'scorned woman movie'. Halfway through the movie I was seated up and hooked. The plot twists were too intense. By far the best drama I've watched in a while!! Pure genius!

When you watch a Tyler Perry movie, there is a certain formula. This had some of the same elements but not the same formula. It was from one person's point of view but as viewer it allowed you to see both sides of the story. The green screen was obvious, and it was slightly annoying. The ending should've been different.

This movie to me was good because it kept my attention and I never thought "is it over yet?" Taraji was perfect for this role. She played her character well. It was good to me because there was so many different points of view you could see things from. She had her side, he had his and you could see different things from both point of views. I'm not saying it was the best movie in the world lol but it was a descent movie. Can you wait for it to come on Redbox? I mean yeah but you can wait for anything to come to redbox.... depends on how bad you want to see it. I don't regret going tonight theatre for this release. Good just Taraji!

Absolute garbage. Complete waste of two hours. I feel personally victimized. You really feel sorry for Taraji B. Henson's character but at the same time you are sort of repulsed by her actions.
