Our suggestions
In the hopes of becoming partner, a criminal defense attorney takes on the case of an artist who may or may not have murdered his girlfriend.
"A psychological thriller by Tyler Perry (director of A Fall From Grace and the Madea films). Mea Culpa follows an ambitious criminal defense lawyer (Kelly Rowland, former member of Destiny’s Child) who takes on the controversial case of a charismatic artist (Trevante Rhodes, Moonlight) accused of murdering his girlfriend. However, as she delves into his world, his case, and his life, the lines between professionalism, friendship, and eroticism begin to blur, with fatal consequences. Although at times it aspires to the status of old erotic thrillers from the '80s and '90s (it even seems like an inverted version of Basic Instinct or Fatal Attraction), it doesn't reach those levels. However, if you're looking for something in that style, Mea Culpa might be for you."
