a5c7b9f00b Mary (Taraji P. Henson) is a hit woman working for an organized crime family in Boston, whose life is completely turned around when she meets a young boy whose path she crosses when a professional hit goes bad. &quot;Proud Mary&quot; (R, 1:29) is an action thriller with a mainly African-American cast. Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson stars in the title rolea hit-woman with a hardened heart of gold.<br/><br/>When she carries out orders to take out a man who was heavily indebted to her small but powerful Boston crime family, she learns that he had a tween son who is now an orphan. She spends the next year secretly following Danny (Jahi Di&#39;Allo Winston) around townhe lives on the streets and works for an abusive local drug dealer (Xander Berkeley). At an especially vulnerable moment for Danny, Mary steps in and struggles to break through his defenses to help him and become his protector. But she also inadvertently drags him into a brewing gang war between her family (headed by Danny Glover and Billy Brown) and a group of eastern European criminals (headed by Rade Serbedzija, perhaps best knownthe villain in &quot;Taken 2&quot;). <br/><br/>This genre movie is fairly formulaic, with little to distinguish it from similar films, but it&#39;s also fairly well-done and fans of the genre (and/or the very accomplished cast) will probably find it entertaining. &quot;B-&quot; Really found the movie entertaining. I loved the movie Although Taraji P. Henson is always a delight, a rote plot, bland action, and a serious lack of interpersonal chemistry hamstrings any potential Proud Mary might have at being fun.
