People have been left divided after Tyler Perry's latest flick became the hot topic of conversation on social media.

The writer-turned-director now has 20 years of experience in the industry, so it's safe to say he knows what he's doing.

Working as a writer on the likes of House of Payne, Sistas and Ruthless, and appearing in popular movies such as Gone Girl and Don't Look Up - Perry has a pretty impressive resume too.

Perry has built up a loyal fanbase over the years thanks to his work, with his latest project being a Netflix thriller.

Starring Kelly Rowland, Perry's newest movie follows an ambitious criminal defense attorney who is determined to become a named partner at her law firm. As part of her mission, she takes on the case of an artist accused of murdering his girlfriend, but things rapidly turn dangerous.

Mea Culpa was inspired by 'older thrillers from the '80s and '90s', which Perry told Tudum he 'loves'.

“It was fun to explore the best and worst of humanity through the genre of an exotic thriller," he said.

Releasing in February, Mea Culpa is still being discussed on Facebook's Netflix Bangers to this day.

One user took to the popular group to ask for an 'honest' review on the film, and the opinion is certainly divided.

One person penned: "I had a hard time enjoying the movie due to the poor acting, which resulted in me falling asleep three times. Out of all of Tyler Perry’s movies, this was his worst. I do not plan on watching it again."

A second added: "The most ugliest and profane storyline from Perry. He goofed big time.... Such nonsense movie."

It isn't all bad though, as another user quipped: "I loved it just didn’t like the very end. It was for no reason," while a fourth remarked: "I thought it was pretty good."

Critics are certainly not divided by Mea Culpa with the movie sitting at a lowly 18 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Benjamin Lee, from the Guardian, wrote: "While it might start out as an erotic thriller, it slows down to a damp relationship drama before meandering its way to a climax hinged on head-scratching twists that make little to zero sense."

While the Decider's John Serba added: "I want to get some hearty laffs from a guilty pleasure, but Mea Culpa is just too dumb for this world."

Mea Cupla is streaming on Netflix now.
