Proud Mary Proud Mary was by far one of the best movies that I have seen this year. The movie is an action packed, kick-butt film in which Taraji P Henson plays the lead character, Mary. NY Times described Taraji as a, “hit woman with a soft spot” and Variety describes her as a, “Haunted assassin who bonds with a kid.” I, however, describe Taraji’s character Mary as simply a resilient and audacious hero.

preferred it because it is told from the point of view of the main character, Tris. She lets you know all her thoughts, her personal opinions of situations, and other personal things. Sadly, these are not shown in the movie.

All ethnicities have their own stereotypes, but the minorities such as Blacks,…
