The melodramatic Tyler Perry-directed thriller stars Taraji P. Henson as a struggling, overworked single mother who, after experiencing a devastatingly bad day, snaps when she reaches her final straw. That fallout comes after getting wrapped up in two murders and a mistaken bank robbery, all while fighting to get back to her daughter.

The new Tyler Perry movie on Netflix, Straw, is a tense, emotional thriller that takes over the course of one very bad day for protagonist Janiyah Wiltkinson.
