Masterful Cinema

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Cookie is even badder in this role a female assassin. Taraji shows how a woman can be as violent as a man an still look good doing it. She gets to show her softer side when she interacts with Danny the orphan she decides to look out for. It is the interaction between Danny and Mary that makes the film. Danny Glover is refreshing as the aging OG who shows he still has the guts to make the hard choices. Glover's son and Mary's ex is a hardened criminal that never quite got over her.

Drugs, money, guns, fancy cars, mediocre acting = a movie that's been made 1000x before. Boring, irrelevant and morally empty. I am done with Hollywood.

There no twist and turn in Proud Mary can make me raise my eyebrows anymore so with this kind of movie it all come down to how good the acting and the action scene.I don't know any of the cast beside Danny Glover but he not the only one with good performance cause despite how cliche the movie is the bonding between Taraji P. Henson as Mary and Jahi Di'Allo Winston make me care for them enough to get through all the boring gang related talks.

When I first saw the ads for "Proud Mary" just before its theatrical release, I thought that it was do pretty well at the box office, since the time seemed right to bring back the Blaxploitation genre that thrived for several years in the 1970s. Instead, the movie did sluggish business. After watching the movie, I think I know why it didn't do so well with audiences, though it doesn't boil down to one reason. One reason may be that it was a production by Screen Gems, which has made one bad movie after another over the years; maybe audiences by now associate Screen Gems with bad movie making. Another reason might be that there's very little action in the movie, particularly in the first half. (And what action there is doesn't ever get above a routine level at its best). There's also no sex or real nudity showcased.But I think the real reason for the movie's downfall is the writing. Certainly, the story has a whole bunch of elements that will be very familiar with most audiences. (And the telling of the story is somewhat choppy at times, showing strong indications that important plot and character details were cut down in the editing room.) But even worse that that the characters in the story are unmemorable. There is no character that you'll particularly care about or be interested in. This includes Mary, who comes across as a grumpy figure who almost completely hides her past and feelings. Since there were no engaging characters, I simply didn't care who did what or who felt like whatever. The actors do try their best, but even they can't bring much life to their characters. I'm pretty sure that when they saw the end results, they weren't exactly proud.
