Proud Mary Review

Proud Mary has its moments, but never rises above mediocrity. This movie is about an assassin, named Mary, who works for a crime family in Boston. Everything changes when a young boy comes across her path. Taraji P. Henson gives a great performance in this movie and definitely has action star potential. Danny Glover is good in a small supporting role. All the other performances are serviceable, but no one really stands out.  The best part of this movie is the action sequences. They are surprisingly thrilling and well done. Sadly there is not near enough of them. The drama, however, is nowhere near as interesting as the action. It's competent but the script holds it back. Overall, Proud Mary has great action sequences, but is hampered by a poor script.

5/10
