The film stars Kelly Rowland as Mea Harper.
In pursuit of the truth, Mea confronts her clients deceptive nature and her increasing lust for him.
This complex attorney-client relationship evolves into one that proves to be dangerous for all.
At the center of Mea and Kals marriage are rumors of infidelity and dishonesty.
To make matters worse, the Harpers were suffering financially thanks to a pile-up of house and medical bills.
All these details about Mea’s marriage make for a great foundation that Perry sets up nicely.
But as in typical Perry fashion, the script makes the case more complicated than meets the eye.
Its also met with further complexity when Meas brother-in-law serves as the district attorney on the case.
It doesnt take someone familiar with Perrys work to quickly understand how it will all play out inMea Culpa.
Perry doesnt possess the cunning attention to detail or ability to redirect us.
Mea Culpais an unhinged, predictable story that isnt as sexy or smart as Perry thinks it is.
If anything, at leastRowland and Rhodes possess enough chemistryto carry the script from start to finish.
Basically, it’s on-brand for the writer-director.
