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.
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 pressed play for Black History Month, however, there were no characters to root for. The last part of the movie was the worst a messy rush that didn't land. It was pretty decently shot but the script needs assistance...happy to see Kelly Rowland rocking her Fabletics work out wear in the movie (product promotion) The script was clearly written using a checklist, Crime - Act 1, Act 2 -Romance/Erotica (missing the urgency of the murder case), and the worst part Act 3-Thriller (suddenly, the movie remembers it hasn't been a thriller, only giving the viewers horrendous hints at it). As someone who has anxiety, I wasn't nervous about any of the so called thrills.
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.
Everything is just so wrong. Plot is a mess, storyline is pathetic, zero intrigue, acting is just so horrible.
I initially was not going to watch this based off on existing IMDB reviews. For some reason decided to give it a shot and couldn't be so disappointed. You initially get tempted because there's a few characters who you think might be interesting, but then the story doesn't really take you any where. This is probably one of the worse movies I ahve seen in a fee years.
This is time I am never getting back. Why does Netflix agree to release such horrible content all the time.
Tyler Perry can definitely do better than this.
