The reviews are in for ‘Fatal Affair‘….and they aren’t good.
Full story below…
‘Fatal’ is a Netflix original directed by Peter Sullivan and co-produced by Nia Long. Unfortunately, the release has spent most of its opening week trending on Twitter thanks to the wave of negative reviews it has garnered from viewers.
See below…
Fatal Affair not being a Tyler Perry film was surprising. It feels rushed (shitty acting) and is ridiculously predictable. There’s little nuance and it’s the same story we have seen a million times.

Fatal Affair was bad… but I still get nightmares about A Fall from Grace… that movie came out THIS YEAR. Feel like forever ago. Tyler Perry should be ashamed

Fortunately, messages like the tweets above have driven social media users to see the release for themselves….turning it into one of the highest-viewed projects on the platform.
Good morning Twitter family. THANK YOU for making Fatal Affair #1 on @NetflixFilm. I’m feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Love you and I appreciate you. 🥰

@NiaLong you killed that role (per usual)! 🙌🏽☺️ You’re such an amazing actress ❤️ and Omar Epps made me pissed off at him 😂

Great film ms. Nia, loved it all the way from South Africa. Was great to see Omar Epps back on the silver screen again.

Lol I’m only 15 mins in. They could’ve gotten someone else to play Omar’s part. He’s always been anything BUT s*** to me. Was Morris Chestnut unavailable?
It was so bad that it ended up being entertaining
Seems alright to me. I think that Nia and Omar both could stand to lose a little weight. I can’t stand when actors don’t put in any concerted effort to try to BE, outwardly, anything more than themselves playing the role of someone else.
The movie was trash. We seen this done in black movies more times than i can count. Have not been many movies this year but this one wont make waves. Same concept as…..

The perfect guy
When the bough breaks
No good deed
Obsessed
The intruder
It was so by the numbers it was predictable.
These and s**** movies are what we get offered in hollywood.
I can’t believe no one mentioned the elephant in the room…the masterpiece called Fatal Attraction from 1987 lol 💯 Chile, my girl Nia straight JACKED IT, name and ALL, on a budget 🤣 Love her tho, but damn 😂 I know midway through filming this she was like, “This ain’t it.” 🤣
I shan’t waste my time with this.
Nia was good, but Omar’s part was wasted. The story makes no attempt to divert from the formula we’ve seen in these movies – same premise, same supporting characters, same climax, same ending. Every moment that is intended to be suspenseful is silly to the point that it’s frustrating, like Omar stalking from outside with a cold look on his face. There was no effort to make this movie interesting.
I loved itttt
I get that black people want quality films nothing wrong with that but sometimes just watching something to be entertained is okay too. White people make the same Lifetime movie over and over and they won’t ever get dragged as bad for it. It was nice and refreshing seeing Nia. Could the movie been better? Absolutely. But I watched it not expecting much in the first place so I ended up enjoying what it was.
I just think it’s the place these two we should be in their in their careers that makes it different. But a check is a check
I feel you and I’m glad you said that 💯 My mom watches Lifetime movies all the time and I think to myself how meh they are 😂 It’s the same movie, same looking actress, rotate sets, jipper dialog, music cues/jingles, everything 😂 But you’re right, there are levels to entertainment and some people like different things! At least it’s black people with nice things and professional jobs just like I’m used to in my real life lol…Clarkson can’t relate…oh, yes Clarkson can…obsessed STALKER 😂 🤳🏽
nia please , please get some new make up hunny.
this was a really bad movie! like it was just bad writing bad script. Nia did good ol dude was horrible
