ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Mea Culpa writer and director Tyler Perry about the new legal thriller. The filmmaker discussed the difference between filming drama and comedy as well as how he went about adding twists to the film. Mea Culpa will begin streaming on Netflix on February 23.
"When criminal defense attorney Mea Harper (Kelly Rowland) takes on the murder case of artist Zyair Malloy (Trevante Rhodes), the truth isn’t as obvious as it seems," reads the movie's synopsis. "While she tries to determine the innocence or guilt of her cagy-yet-seductive client, it is uncovered that everyone is guilty of something. Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa explores what happens when burning desire takes hold and things get hot ... and dangerous."
