Tyler Perry's 'Duplicity' Makes No Damn Sense
HuffPost
The Prime Video thriller will leave you with a lot of questions and few answers.
Well, Tyler Perry has done it again. “Duplicity,” yet another soap opera-esque drama from the writer-director, made its way to Prime Video on Thursday. Of course, it’s a wild turn of events that only Perry could conjure up. Perhaps he’s the only person who can make sense of it, too, because the plot unravels into a web of lies that’ll leave your head spinning with questions.
Thankfully, the movie doesn’t start off with much confusion. It first follows high-powered attorney Marley (Kat Graham) on her most personal case yet: the fatal police shooting of her best friend Fela’s (Meagan Tandy) husband (Joshua Adeyeye) in what appears to be the death of another unarmed Black man. That situation goes over how many would expect: civil unrest among local residents, administrative leave for the involved officer, pending a settlement, and a political case for the mayor’s office to sort through before the whole town boils over.
Marley gets some assistance from her former cop-turned-private investigator boyfriend (Tyler Lepley) and his friend Kevin (RonReaco Lee). But just as they close the book on the case, secrets start to surface and true colors are revealed, leading Marley down a maze of deception and betrayal to find out what really caused the shooting.
If the plot is starting to sound complicated, that’s because it is and for no rhyme or reason.
“Duplicity” is essentially two movies in one, and neither feels fully developed. That wouldn’t be a first for one of Perry’s films, but the trend is getting rather annoying. In this chat below, we try to make sense of the legal thriller and break down the plot twist we never saw coming.
