Tyler Perry's Duplicity is a 2025 mystery thriller directed, written, and produced by Tyler Perry. The film stars Kat Graham as Marley Wells, a high-powered attorney who delves into a complex case involving the police shooting of her best friend Fela's (Meagan Tandy) husband. Assisted by her boyfriend Tony (Tyler Lepley), a former cop turned private investigator, Marley uncovers a web of deception and betrayal.

The film has received mixed to negative reviews. Critics have criticized its melodramatic tone and lack of depth. For instance, a review from Decider describes the film as "a thriller that uses a police shooting as a springboard for unchecked silliness," noting its reliance on preposterous plot twists and melodrama . Similarly, a review from HuffPost UK Culture & Arts mentions that while the cast delivers solid performances, the writing is "overwrought," leading to confusion about the film's direction.
