Matt Roush says...
Taraji P. Henson (Empire) is put through the wringer in director-writer Tyler Perry‘s emotional melodrama about desperate single mom Janiyah, whose string of bad luck culminates in an incident in which her attempt to cash a check is mistaken for a robbery, leading to a tense hostage standoff. Co-starring in this Dog Day Afternoon-style drama: Sherri Shepherd as a sympathetic bank teller and Teyana Taylor as a police detective who senses the human drama behind Janiyah’s actions.
