The release of a new Tyler Perry movie is hardly a cause for celebration as I’ve become quite indifferent to such things over the last three years.
Tyler has an audience, and each year will bring at least one new film
for them to fawn over. Despite my
personal tastes, my less hateful side refuses to let me completely write the
man off. Atrocious though his filmography
may be, I keep hoping against hope that he will one day sire other, more talented
Black filmmakers than himself. For
right now, the world will just have to settle for more Medea films…or will it?
Though I’m still not sure if I totally buy the idea of Tyler
Perry as a “badass,” I’ll take this incarnation of him over Madea any day. Idris Elba, who stepped down from the role,
would have clearly been the better choice.
Still, seeing Tyler look like he just walked out of an episode of Law & Order has inspired me to take
a “wait and see” attitude with Cross. That’s more than I can say for anything else
he’s ever done.
Even more interesting are the images of Matthew Fox’s as the
villain. He can be seen here in an MMA octagon
looking like someone just popped him out of action figure packaging. He plays Michael "The Butcher of
Sligo" Sullivan. The character is a
murderous psychopath who works under contract with the mafia. Looking at these photos has me thinking that
maybe Tom Hardy was the wrong choice for Bane.
Though Fox isn’t at all bulky enough for that role, his dangerously low
percentage of body fat is staggering. I’m
a push over for psychopathic bodybuilders as villains in these kinds of flicks. Something about that idea has always made
perfect sense to me.
So here we have Tyler Perry looking plausible as a gun-toting
gumshoe, and Matthew Fox looking like the heir apparent to Max Cady. The more I learn about this production, the
more interested I am. It doesn’t hurt
that Rob Cohen, the man behind The Fast
& The Furious, is sitting at the helm.
Though the Medea movies will always suck no matter what, I’m actually
rooting for TP this time out. There is a
dearth of decent Black heroes in movies these days. If Tyler turns out to be halfway decent in
that vein, I see no reason to discourage him.
Feel free to judge for yourself, as I have placed the rest of the images below.
Wow, no words...I am no fan of Perry's work and I'm only further disturbed by the latest venture.
