'Duplicity' Is Tyler Perry's New Thriller

If you enjoy thrillers, you will love Tyler Perry's new movie that premieres on Amazon Prime on Thursday, March 20, 2025. In an interview on Good Morning America, Perry said his latest movie is unlike any of his other thrillers. The writer, director, and producer assured viewers that they will be unable to guess what is coming next in the movie that will have viewers sitting on the edge of their seats.

Perry added that the movie will show an emotional tale of friendship through a police procedural. The investigation is to prove one man's innocence through shocking details.

About "Duplicity"

Duplicity is about a high-powered attorney who faces her most personal case. She tries to uncover the truth about her best friend's husband's death. The attorney welcomes help from her private investigator boyfriend who used to be a cop. Her search for what really happened leads her down a path of lies, deception, betrayal, and suspense that viewers will not expect.

Tyler Perry says there are twists throughout the 109-minute movie. The trailer below gives a glimpse of what the movie is like. However, seeing the entire movie is worth watching.

About the Cast

The movie includes veteran actors viewers might know.

• Kat Graham as Marley Wells is a prominent attorney with a personal case like she has never had.
• Meagan Tandy as Fela Blackburn, the attorney's best friend.
• Joshua Adeyeye as Rodney is Fela’s husband.
• RonReaco Lee plays the part of Kevin, a police officer.
• Tyler Lepley plays Tony Wells, Marley's boyfriend and private investigator.
• Other cast members include: KAngela Halili, Judd Lormand, Kearia Schroeder, Jimi Stanton, Nick Barrotta, Jas Wang, Amanda L. Miller, Shannon LaNier, Joshua Adeyeye, Marcia Harvey, Christopher L. Nelson, Deldric Dunning, Crystal Bui, Kim Steele, Marcus Anderson, Sarah Cool, Spencer Kelly, and Lester Milligan.

Title of the Movie

Originally, the movie title was to be Black, White & Blue, based on justice and the truth never being "black and white." Then the title was changed to Duplicity.” That name is not to be confused with the 2009 romantic crime comedy film starring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. The two films have nothing in common except the name.

Tyler Perry's Style

Those who have watched other movies written, directed, and produced by Tyler Perry are familiar with his style. He is renowned for his multifaceted approach to entertainment. He can blend humor with poignant storytelling no matter how serious the situation is.

Perry pulled out all the stops in Duplicity by making it a thriller that viewers will not likely forget. His previous works, such as Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea’s Family Reunion, have showcased his versatility, and Duplicity is poised to be another testament to his storytelling style.

Use of Same Actors

Another approach Perry favors is using some of the same actors in his movies. For instance, Tyler Lepley played the major part of Benny Young in Perry's hit series, The Haves and the Have Nots from 2013 to 2o21.

RonReaco Lee played the part of Jimmy in Perry's 2024 legal thriller Mea Culpa.

What People Are Saying

There are a lot of comments on social media about the upcoming movie. Commenters say they are excited and can barely wait until March 20 when the movie airs. More comments will be made after viewers actually watch the film. Then, they will be able to give a better description of the movie along with their reaction to it.

I love watching thrillers, espccially the ones with twists and unexpected endings. Therefore, I will watch the movie as soon as it comes out and will write a review. In the meantime, this preview might help people decide to watch the movie to see if it is all it has been advised to be.
