Critics Consensus

Proud Mary proves Taraji P. Henson has more than enough attitude and charisma to carry an action movie -- just not, unfortunately, one this indifferently assembled.

Mentor 5

Stupid action movie in the blaxploitation style of the 70s (Foxy Brown). What might have had its legitimacy back then just seems dull and boring today.

Taraji P. Henson no doubt is such a great actress. But the movie does not showcase her calibre.

Taraji P. Henson does her best to breathe life into this generic actioner.

Make no mistake: [Tarji P.] Henson's not the failure. The film failed her.

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.

Keith & the Movies

The story is woefully too conventional and predictable.

Cinema Sentries

It seemed like it would be an exciting John Wick-style vehicle for Taraji P. Henson but it ended up being a complete misfire that does a disservice to her talents.

Corny bonding, insincere dramatic twists, and a legion of confounding stylistic and narrative choices makes Proud Mary a minor camp misfire.
