Let me start by saying I saw Proud Mary opening weekend because I support black film. Gave Taraji/Sony my money (checked my ticket stub to make sure it was correct). I had my reservations about the trailer and the promotion like many on here. That movie was the biggest piece of crap. The only redeeming thing was the little boy. There was no reason to invest in Taraji's character, she was not agile enough to be convincing as an action star and wasn't far enough away from Cookie Lyons for it to matter. I can only hope that if this film is successful its main purpose is to open the proverbial door for a GOOD action film with a black female lead...
