Proud Mary

Taraji P Henson plays a hit-woman working for a Boston crime family. Her connection to the family is more than just employment, but it is not clear if that relationship is familial or some form of indentured service. Likely it is both simultaneously and therein lies the drama. The plot for this film comes from a young boy that Henson lets live when she kills the father. She eventually takes in the boy and inadvertently starts a mafia turf war. Then she needs to clean up her mess and get herself and the boy out of Dodge. Unfortunately, this is not very engaging in its execution. So...
2 stars (out of 5)
