Acrimony

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!

'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.

After seeing the low ratings this movie got I didn't expect much of it, but then I read some positive reviews that made me want to watch Acrimony and I'm glad I did. It clearly deserves more than a mediocre five star rating. Tyler Perry, known for making movies with almost only African Americans, did a good job with this for him totally different story. A story about a woman going through all kind of phases in her life, from feeling in love to betrayed, from a forgiven to a vengeful person. Taraji P. Henson was really good in her role of Melinda. As was Lyriq Bent in his role of Robert, the man trying to invent a life changing apparatus. Not only is the movie well shot with good actors, the story is also pleasant and easy to follow. Acrimony deserves a higher rating so just watch it and rate it.

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.
