Proud Mary | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

What was cool was to see the 70s blaxploitation genre reimagined in a modern film, but unfortunately director Babak Najafi fails to connect the dots with the script and the emotions of the characters.

Taraji P. Henson does her best to breathe life into this generic actioner.

Often gets bogged down in cliches, but Henson is just so good, and Najafi's direction so solid, that the film resonates in spite of its occasionally wooden dialogue.

A striking ineptitude of pacing and motivation.

That's the biggest problem with Proud Mary: The film is boring. The characters are boring. The dialogue. The settings.
