The performances are much better than this lazy, derivative, script deserves.
I didn't want to watch because of the bad reviews but this really is an excellent movie from beginning to end. The only thing I don't get is the proud Mary 70s theme/vibe.
TP Henson (as Mary), an assassin leaves Jahl Winston (as Danny) fatherless after a hit. She also leaves with his photograph which she uses to follow and find Danny. She eventually takes him in after sniffing life out of the man (Uncle) who Danny works for - a self imposed penance, perchance, for remotely putting Danny on the streets.Proud Mary reinforces the notion that 'after everything, love is all that matters...truly loving someone is all that matters.'I liked the fact that TP (my home girl) could be both a Saviour as well as a Satan. I can forgive this movie's goofs which were overshadowed by its actors' crystal performance.
Mary (Traji P. Henson) is an assassin who works for a crime family run by Benny (Danny Glover). She does a hit on a man, but she doesn't know his son Danny (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) is in his room, but Danny doesn't see Mary or know what happened. Mary takes Danny under her wing, but the family thinks that hit -once known - can lead back to them and they let Mary know this. Because of that hit and the hit on Uncle (Xander Berkley) who used Danny to run drugs, there is the fear of a general crime war. Mary wants out. Notables: Billy Brown as Tom, son of Benny and a one time love interest of Mary; Neal McDonough as Walter, Benny's henchman.This is okay, kind of sappy in places, and there should have been more to the story. The acting all around is good and yes, there are many shootings. (5/5) Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Some, not much
