Proud Mary's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
"Proud Mary doesn?t deserve the lack of faith its studio has in it. In fact, it?s almost good, so close to success that its flaws truly become frustrating".
Entertainment Weekly
"Henson clearly has the swagger, charm, and ferocity to make one hell of an action star. She deserves a movie that does her talents justice".
Variety
"Henson is the right actress to play a contract killer grown weary, but as a thriller Proud Mary doesn?t quite do her justice. It?s a connect-the-dots underworld trifle, watchable and minimal...though Henson holds it together and, at moments, comes close to convincing you that you?re watching a better movie".
The Hollywood Reporter
"The mob-war stuff here could not possibly be more rote".
The Wrap
"'Proud Mary' did not screen for critics, nor should it have. It?s a copy of a copy of a mediocre original, with the drab aesthetics of a TV movie and the emotional hollowness of an infomercial".
Los Angeles Times
'Proud Mary' isn't a retro action thriller at all, but a staid family drama, and an incredibly boring one at that.
