THE MOVIE \u2014 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis<\/strong>: Melinda (AJIONA ALEXUS\/TARAJI P. HENSON) meets Robert (ANTONIO MADISON\/LYRIQ BENT) in college, soon fall in love and despite his cheating and her bouts of rage\/insanity, the two marry. It only goes downhill from there. The end.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>I can\u2019t say I was ever angry while watching Acrimony<\/em><\/strong>, but it was tedious to sit through, mostly for the melodramatic aspects, a story that more belonged on the Lifetime Network, but also two main characters I honestly didn\u2019t care about, even finding either them remotely enjoyable to watch. I didn\u2019t feel empathy for Melinda or pity for Robert. Both characters were just unlikeable and not in that entertaining sort of way, that\u2019s not to mention the obnoxious side characters who more of an annoyance than anything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Probably because he\u2019s not my cup of tea, I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve liked any of Tyler Perry\u2019s movies, be it comedy or melodrama. His latest in the latter is Acrimony<\/em><\/strong>, a new take on the Fatal Attraction<\/em> scorned-woman genre and despite having the talent of Taraji P. Henson, the film is lifeless, often dull and a bloated affair (no pun intended) where there\u2019s not a single character that you either enjoyed or even could root for.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t say if Acrimony<\/em><\/strong> is a misstep since I can\u2019t think of one Tyler Perry movies I truly liked, but based on an audience grade of an \u201cA-\u201c, clearly Perry fans did enjoy his latest work of art, as for myself it was tough to sit through, and not even Taraji P. Henson\u2019s magnetism could save this.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This is actually a rather dark looking movie, and I\u2019m not talking about the tone, but literally fairly dark, even daylight shots tend to be tapped down some. The 1080p transfer otherwise is fine, detail is sharp and I really didn\u2019t notice much in the way of banding, artifacting or aliasing, so not terribly flawed at least. That said, Tyler Perry movies don\u2019t generally look great, even outside of his Madea<\/em> franchise.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is actually pretty strong. The bulk of the movie of course is principally dialogue so most of the action is output via the center speaker. But there are some moments of depth when the score\/music picks up or for the finale.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Acrimony<\/em><\/strong> is hardly terrible but it\u2019s also par for the course of a Tyler Perry film. The talents of the lovely Taraji P. Henson are utterly wasted as she doesn\u2019t get to show anything other than hostility considering any nice moments of the character went to the younger version. There\u2019s no good reason to even bother with this Lifetime-like melodrama. As for the Blu-ray, the video and audio transfers are decent while the solo featurette was tame.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
