He’s been doing it for so long that college-age versions of Melinda and Robert are trotted out in the persons of Ajiona Alexus and Antonio Madison. He’s Robert (a laser-eyed Lyriq Bent), a wolf in lamb’s clothing who smooth talks Melinda out of her money and her pride. Henson plays Melinda Gayle, a good woman done wrong by a male pig. Showcasing Henson in this crass ripoff of Fatal Attraction is like shoving a comet in a shoebox. Tyler Perry’s Acrimony, presumably titled to set it apart from your acrimony or mine, is a female revenge saga packed with so much hysteria that it could set back the burgeoning #MeToo movement a beat or two. Henson fans out there – and I’m a card-carrying, dues-paid-up member of the club – the bad news is that her latest feature, following on the heels of this year’s hitwoman horror show Proud Mary, sucks this glorious actress down into more cinematic quicksand.
