Tyler Perry’s “Mea Culpa” emerges as a legal thriller and relationship drama that quickly secured the #1 spot on Netflix worldwide.
Perry, known for his Madea cinematic universe, took on writing, directing, and producing for this 25th feature.
Despite its departure from his usual style, critics find it lacking improvement.
Rotten Tomatoes awards it a bronze with an 18% from critics and a 38% from the audience.
Perry’s distribution deal with Netflix promises more Madea chapters, but opinions on his films remain divided.
“Mea Culpa” is noted for its unique presentation in Perry’s filmography, resembling a soap opera in its 60th season.
The film’s attempt at mimicking the thriller genre, akin to a budget Disney sequel, is criticized for lacking intentional humor.
Despite Perry’s enduring fame and Netflix success, critics remain unswayed, and the film industry’s opinion of his work persists.
