Nothing all that new or surprising here. I love Taraji P. Henson but she deserves better than this. The kid was really annoying. In so many stories that have an adult suddenly becoming a guardian or parent figure to a young person, the youngster is so often depicted as an annoying, disrespectful and disobedient little puke and this film is no exception. Why do writers fall back on this? Generating empathy for your characters is difficult enough without making them unsympathetic. Danny Glover is an actor that I like but I thought he was miscast in the role. He seemed to be sleepwalking through this. During the climactic gunfight they play a peppy, uptempo version of the title song on the soundtrack and I think this was a bad choice. I hope to see Taraji P. Henson in more action movies but let's hope they're better than this one.
TWO THUMBS UP
I love this movie, it had a great story line. It showed that love can out shine anything. Great acting by all.
I Iove Taraji P. Henson, She's a really good actress. Taraji P. Henson looked fantastic in this movie.
LOVED IT!!!!!!! #TARAJI P. HENSON AND AWESOME
AMAZING
About the 5th time I saw basically the same story line. The same concept was actually better on "Hill Street Blues." Save your money. Don't bother with this one. So lame, it's only an hour 40 minutes long.
Taraji is the bomb! Great acting!
I loved this movie. Saw twice. Must see
I truly enjoyed this movie. Taraji totally owned and became the "Proud Mary" character. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when the young boy asked Taraji if she wanted him to leave and she replies: "Did I say that?" - and then grabs him and gives him a hug. This scene revealed the vunerable side of Mary and allowed the audience to see that she needed the young boy in her life, as much as he needed her. Overall, a great movie and a great performance by all. Truly a must see film.
