‘Raw' thriller with unbelievable twist shoots to the top of Netflix chart
A 'powerful' new thriller has stormed to the top of the Netflix charts, claiming more than 25million views in just a few days. Written, directed and produced by Alex Cross star Tyler Perry, Straw follows a single mother who becomes embroiled in a sequence of terrible and violent events as she struggles to care for her ill daughter. Oscar-nominee Taraji P Henson leads the cast alongside Teyana Taylor, Jingle All the Way actor Sinbad, and Precious actress Sherri Shepherd. The movie was added to the streaming platform on June 6 and it didn't take long for fans to watch it in their droves – as it has dominated the global charts. Straw currently commands the top spot with more than 25.3m views in the last seven days, and over 45.5m hours watched.

It beat out stiff competition from the Now You See Me franchise, the Bee Movie, M3GAN and Nonnas for the top slot. Wrath of the Titans, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish and the Wild Robot also make up the list. Emerging to strong word of mouth from audiences, the film has been described as one of Tyler's best films to date – admittedly, this mixed-bag of a catalogue does include his Madea and Mrs Brown's Boys crossover. Viewers were particularly vocal about the 'heartbreaking' ending – which featured a twist to the tale which will ensure it won't be forgotten in a hurry. After watching, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on what they had just witnessed. 'Straw is such a humbling movie. The rawness was so real and the plot twist was crazy,' she_mego wrote on X. 'What a walk through emotions @tylerperry's Straw. The plot twist at the end wallowed me up. A good watch indeed!' sandra_buma agreed. 'After watching Straw, I no longer know how my heart is feeling. When what gave you purpose is suddenly gone. It speaks to a pain that's hard to name. Raw, emotional, and deeply human. Kudos to the writer… truly outdone,' david_harris_r said. 'Tyler Perrys Straw absolutely incredible I literally cried blown away! [sic]'MelisaWhiskey added. Critics also heaped praise on Taraji, with Screen Rant describing her performance as 'an acting masterclass.' 'Straw has a cultural pulse-taking urgency that lifts it above [Tyler Perry's] usual run of comedies and melodramatic potboilers, flawed as it is,' Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly described the film's emotions as 'so raw and the performances are so earnest that you've really got to have a heart of stone not to care for these people.' Award-winning Taraji previously starred in hit movies The Color Purple and Hidden Figures, as well as iconic series Empire. Her performance in the film comes two years after she spoke out on the issue of inequality in pay for Hollywood's women of colour. 'I'm just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost,' she told Gayle King on SiriusXM Radio. 'I'm tired of hearing my sisters saying the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, 'You work a lot.' I have to – the math ain't mathing. 'And when you start working a lot, you have a team. Big bills come with what we do. We don't do this alone. The fact that we're up here, there's a whole entire team behind us. They have to get paid. 'When you hear people saying, 'Oh, such and such made $10m.' That didn't make it to their account. Know that off the top, Uncle Sam is getting 50%. Do the math. 'Now we have $5m – your team is getting 30% off of what you gross, not after what Uncle Sam took. Now do the math.' As the interview went viral, fans and peers in the acting community shared messages of support. 'Not a damn lie told. Not. A. Damn. Lie. We go TO BAT for the next generation and hell even our own generation and above,' Gabrielle Union cheered in response. 'We don't hesitate to be the change that we all need to see AND it takes a toll on your mind, health, soul, and career if we're keepn it [100]. [Love] u @tarajiphenson. [sic]' More Trending 'We feel you, @tarajiphenson and we love you. It's a fight we ALL are waging,' Community star Yvette Nicole Brown agreed. 'For ourselves and for the ones coming up after us. This mess sucks!' This article was first published on June 8. Straw is now streaming on Netflix. Got a story?

People Are Sharing The Movie Endings That Were So Bad They Ruined An Otherwise Good Film, And I'm Curious To Know If You Agree
Reddit user @world_citizen7 recently asked: "What movie had such a bad ending that it ruined an otherwise good movie?" Here are some of the best answers, and FYI, some posts have been edited for clarity! Oh, and you should probably know that there are some spoilers ahead! 1.'Hancock. The first 2/3 was a not bad look at the idea of a being with superpowers who had no interest in being a superhero or villain. Then the movie took a 136 degree turn into some really weird tacked-on plot twists.' — The1Ylrebmik 2.'Signs. I mean, those aliens came billions of miles, conquered the whole planet in a blink of an eye, and didn't realize they couldn't handle water, one of the most common things on the planet? Same with War of the Worlds and a virus, both were nonsensical.' — bevymartbc 3.'I remember at the end of Kingsman: The Secret Service, they make a big deal about this dude fucking a girl in the ass as his reward for saving her. It's so awkward and they put so much focus on it. Totally unnecessary and yet I guess the writers, producers, and director fought for it to be in the final cut for some goddamn reason. Did they have a raunchy joke quota that they needed to fulfill?' — JacobStills 4.'Grease. Why does the car fly?' — DependentSelect6973 5.'Unpopular opinion regarding a classic Hollywood film: My Fair Lady. I absolutely detested Henry Higgins, and when Eliza came back after he admits (only to himself) how important she is to him, he puts on his condescending act and demands she finds his slippers as she smiles at him. Yuck.' — GrouchyBear_99 6.'Now You See Me, it was great fun until the reveal, which makes even less sense the more you think about it.' — shemjaza 7.'As a kid, I loved all the Oz books, where Oz was real. I never forgave the movie The Wizard of Oz for having it all turn out to be a dream. What was the point of it all then?' — Garbage-Bear 8.'X-Men Origins: Wolverine. First two acts were good, the third act and the screwed up version of 'Deadpool' ruined the overall film.' — Bigtony7877 9.'Personally, for me it was Longlegs. I was so looking forward to it, and thought it was really good until the very ending.' — streetxtrash 10.'Glass, dud ending to a decent trilogy. You can defeat Bruce Willis with a… puddle? There's a secret organization that gets rid of people with powers? What?' — GrumpyOldMan59 11.'The Lilo & Stitch remake going against the message of Ohana.' — MattWolf96 12.'Joker: Folie à Deux. I was enjoying it (yes, even the musical parts) and wondering why everyone was hating on it. Then it got to the final act, and I understood.' — Maxhousen 13.'Ocean's 8. All these awesome, capable women, and you get a dude to come in at the end and do the actual stealing? And to top it off, you only get away with it because James Corden decides to look the other way? No thank you.' — dumblesmurf 14.'Yesterday. Not well known because the ending sucked so much it didn't end up being popular, but it was that movie about the guy who wakes up one day and is the only one who remembers the Beatles. Such a creative premise, and it built a really interesting narrative, that then has the most boring, poorly-written, unsatisfying ending. Ruins the whole thing.' — NoButThanksAnyway 15.'Interstellar totally flummoxed me on the romantic relationship at the end. They hated each other for the whole movie, and now they're together because they are the highest-paid actor and actress on call, and the producers said the flick needs a romance or something?' — PublicCraft3114 16.'Life of Pi. 'Did it actually happen? Idk but it made for a cool story' wtf no, don't make me watch a whole movie then end it as if everything was made up.' — peanut6547 17.'Sinister's ending and final act was so bad that it removed every ounce of rewatchability for me. It took away the unsettling tone of the tapes and it was just cringey seeing the kids in bad makeup dance around the house. Such a shame. It was a really good horror movie up until the reveal.' — Queef-Elizabeth 18.'Source Code. Overturned the whole conceit of the movie for the sake of a happy ending.' — third-time-charmed 19.'Gravity. I was buying the whole movie, all the way, even as she splash landed in the lake. But after all she went through, to just get up and walk away ruined the whole thing. IMO it would have been a better movie if she would have died at the bottom of the lake cuz she couldn't get out of her suit in time. At least that ending I could have respected.' — IndependentFalse4270 20.'I loved Conclave up until the end, it just seemed so unnecessary to add that to the story I guess. Like it served no real purpose to the story or anything. Just came out of nowhere.' — mrlurker666 And finally: 21.'I've never been more pissed off at the ending of a movie than I was when I watched Promising Young Woman. That movie was super interesting and then it decided to end in the shittiest, most anticlimactic way possible, and before the credits even rolled all I could think was: 'Well, this is the worst thing I've seen in years and I'll never watch this shitty ass movie again.' It was and I haven't. Fuck that movie.' — NikonShooter_PJS Do you agree with these choices? Let me know the movies that you think were ruined by their ending in the comments below!
