Reviews

Proud Mary received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised Taraji P. Henson's powerful portrayal of Mary and the stylish action sequences, others felt that the film lacked depth and originality. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 25% rating, with the consensus stating 'Proud Mary proves Taraji P. Henson is a formidable talent... but her considerable abilities aren't enough to save a film that takes a disappointingly generic approach to its action-oriented plot.' On IMDb, the movie holds a rating of 5.0/10, indicating a polarizing reception from audiences. Metacritic gave it a score of 35/100, with critics noting the film's potential that falls short of expectations. Despite the criticism, Proud Mary is worth a watch for its dynamic lead performance and thrilling action sequences.
