Thumbs Down: Skip It
Only die-hard Taraji P. Henson fans. Everyone else can skip it.

Full Review (Spoilers)
Proud Mary is a decent attempt to showcase Taraji’s skills as an action star power. I don’t think her character could have saved this generic hit-person movie. It’s filled with a lot of cliche moments and even more tedious dialogue. You’re better off waiting until this movie pops up on YouTube or something. Well, not even YouTube… just pretend it doesn’t exist.

DC's Hypothetical Corner
Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.
I’d ditch the clichés and tedious dialogue and give Taraji P. Henson a story worthy of her action-star skills.
