Thumbs up to remove "mini trailers" from the start of actual trailers!
I think they are doing it for skippable ads. More action in the first 5 seconds
Stay tuned to watch this trailer you're already watching and probably had a commercial before watching... oh, and stay tuned for another trailer AND commercial after the trailer.
The second trailer, but yeah the first one two, but I'm talking about a 3rd or 4th one depending on whether the ads are trailers too.
To all the kids in the comment section who wrongly think this is an Atomic Blonde rip off, it's clearly beacuse you dont know anything about the 70's. That decade gave us the BLAXPLOITATION genre and iconic action flicks with female leads like Foxy Brown(Pam Grier) and Cleopatra Jones(Tamara Dobson).
Proud Mary is an homage to that era... as Tarantino's Jackie Brown was.
Teach these chillin's lol but I wasn't even born in that era, but love the action films from that time. As soon as I seen this trailer I got Pam Grier vibes.
LOL someone sounds angry. It's going to be okay, Duke silver. Life may be throwing you a curve ball, but it's all gonna work out in the end.
Miss L or maybe it was an Easter egg. Because this is definitely in homage to blaxploitation. Just look at the official cover at the end of the video.
She is no Halle Berry, Viola Davis or Vivica A. Fox, but the one and only Taraji P. Henson. This film deserves a sequel ❤
She is one of the better sorely underappreciated actresses, personally, streets ahead of Berry and Fox, not that I am dismissing your own opinion of course
Taraji has always been a badass. From Person of Interest to now as Mary.
I just saw it in 2021. It was the best movie I've ever seen! I love Taraji so much! What an exceptional actor and beauty. When she knocked the car door off, and, then, rolled out the car to get her advesaries, I hollered with laughter. She was so serious about getting to the boy. I liked the ending. It was very touching to see that she would become a mother to a child who needed one.
She plays this part beautifully! I love to see strong women portrayed as such. You go girl!!!
This Cookie won't crumble.
I feel like she should be a comic book character.
Gonzy1122 Well, I think you'll get very alarming similarities with Black Widow(Marvel) if that's the case ....
Just my opinion though
Gonzy...I probably wouldn't have watched if it it were...I'm not into comic book stuff (one exception is I still love The Incredible Hulk tv series from the 1970s,) and I liked in this film the way you could relate to the real, human stuff.
I love how the bullet shots sync with the music at 1:48
This trailer could have been better, but I'm still seeing it, hope the fight scenes are good.
I doubt if the fight scenes are good. They spent most of the trailer showing her fet dressed so im betting there is not much goid action to see
Its the same old same old , with slick editing with people shooting at each other with some revenge back story . Yawn .
The tv spots for this movie are better that this. And I thought there was also another trailer that’s been used in theaters? I’m trying to drag my sister (who doesn’t have cable) to this movie, but this is the only thing I can use to pique her interest. This trailer doesn’t do it for me.
I'm getting a Smoking Aces/Jackie Brown vibe from this, looks good
Yeah! It doesn't feel full blacksploitation, but is definitely riffing on an ambiguous exploitation thematically. Could be fun. I'm a sucker for hitman movies, for some reason.
Haha nah the movie wasnt that long. Too music suspense music in scenes that didnt need it but the climax was some guns blazing fun tho. And Tina Turner's "proud mary" playing with it made it really fun.
just watched it perfect casting job, great camera work perfect directing, awesome story and fantastic job writers, Taraji is awesome...i wish this was a TV series...and i hope if they have not yet clean up at the awards.
I can't be the only one who at first thought this was a Tina Turner biopic lol.
No, but I am hoping for Tina to finally do the music video for Proud Mary, that was a missed opportunity in 1993 when she rerecorded it for the biopic
Detective Joss Carter returns and is even more badass! Wooh!
I still miss her as Carter on the show. She was perfect for her role
I was scrolling for this comment bro. Carter didn't die, she just took John's role now.
Person of Interest fans, assemble! Whoo hoo! That squad was the tightest. I guess followed by the Rick squad in walking dead.
Atomic Cookie is what I thought about after watching this @$$ kickin' trailer! 2018, here we go!
I'm Blk 67 female and I love this movie. Henson is a great actress. She's our super hero
that movie was really good! those of you who haven't seen it need to give it a chance. The soundtrack is on point! I would definitely watch it again, maybe own it someday!
I haven’t seen it yet, but I bought it on Microsoft digital store last week.
the soundtrack is EVERYTHING as well as the movie.
Looks so fun. Glad the classic 70s Foxy Brown/Jackie Brown font was used too. Sold. *crosses fingers for Pam Grier cameo*
Alright, that's it...
HEELS ARE NOT PRACTICAL TO DO ANYTHING IN, ESPECIALLY NOT ASSASSINATING PEOPLE. BLAST IT, PUT A GIRL IN FLATS FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIVES, HOLLYWOOD.
* trying to pull myself together *
I dont know....Prince could dance around in heels. But he was a guy. Maybe we should put more guys in heels lmfao.
Loved loved loved this movie, very refreshing to see a WOC playing an assassin, and any lead at that! Great job Taraji!
Has anyone seen Jackie Brown? This is like the classic action movie version of Jackie Brown.
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like a watered-down 1970's Blaxploitation movie, and not nearly as good as Tarantino.
Atomic blonde is the first female 007 .
Proud Mary is first female black dynamite .
Case close.
This looks outstanding. Can't wait to sprint to the theatre to see this.
Kube Dog It was in the theaters and apparently you thought it was going to Red Box, look at how wrong you were.
My daughter had me listening to this song! And, then this ad came up with this movie..!
Sony Ceo: We need to show we are changing with the times.
Overpaid Exec: What about a female empowerment Bond movie, but get this she is also black.
Sony Ceo: *head explodes*
It would but it just shows over catering to the millennial left demographic. If it was a movie with a white lead, either nobody would care or they would all say, "Why is there never any black leads in Hollywood, Hollywood is so racist."
Yessss!!!!! "I'm Mary" ! Taraji P. Henson, killing it in this movie. I had to hit replay when my girl was putting those thigh high boots on!!! #MsMaryBaby
Here for it! I love Taraji
I really enjoyed this movie. Just watched it in 2024. I think the trailer didnt do it justice.
omg this is like taraji`s character from person of interest ... her name was carter but this is like the 4.0 verison i love it .
This Movie Looks Impressive. Great to see Taraji p Henson aka Cookie Lyon in this Action packed movie Trailer
Rolling! Rolling!
Looking forward to watching it😊❤️
i love taraji p henson and i'm glad to see her in an action movie but this trailer is terrible
I'm not a fan so far either, and that's sort of disappointing because I'd love a good action movie with Taraji.
its the music i swear and we need to see more action in the trailer
i'll have to agree. Its not always wise to judge a movie by its trailer but the scale of it looks very disappointing. Action movies especially the Assassin type usually span over a horde of locations, this looks like the whole thing is done in 2 days in a compton back alley.
I like how between 0:07 and 0:45, it was almost like a remastered opening to the song with the Tina Turner solo. I wished that version was released.
This is a terrible trailer. Who ever edited it needs to be fired.
Agreed... I don't know what's up with those noises as such picks up the night vision goggles or loads the weapons... they are horribly timed and misplaced altogether.
Miss L Please explain how thus movie is a "Atomic Blonde wannabe"...I'll wait
Miss L STFU I never watched Atomic bonds or whatver its called because I honestly didn't even know about it till just earlier and I still wouldn't watch it but guess what I'm watching, the so called "wannabe" ! This looks badass and she looks finer than wine
it is indeed a terrible trailer. With so many similar films I would have gone full on 70's vibe Bullet meets foxy brown. Made it a real character study. I would have given her a different hairstyle too. Cause this looks like "Cookie got a gun yawl" I would have given her a leopard jackey or green leather.Make it unique
Finally a movie about assassins that has a good story and not about a person loosing his dog.
Yes! About time. A talented Black Sister playing an Assassin Female Fighter. Angelina Jolie , Gina Carana Chole Grace,Scarlet Johansson,. Maggie Fitzgerald. Gal Gadot, had their turn to shine. Now finally a Sista playing a butt kicking fighter- of course Taraji Henson nailing this role. I have been waiting for another " Cleopatra Jones" fine classy fighting sister. Its about time. Lets get a good mix, we got our white sisters doing a lot of fighting roles, we got our Japanese sisters Yanin Jeeja, Michelle Yeoh, and lets not leave out our fine Latina Zoe Saldana whooped it in Columbiana now finally our black sister Taraji in an Action film. Cant wait to see it. There is great talent out there among black females. Now this movie completes the beautiful rainbow of good fighting actresses. Go Taraji!!
Who else thinks the music to this in the beginning did not fit the actual movie .
I have raised my hands for Taraji! I can't wait for 2018!
If Taraji P. Henson took role as Robyn McCall in the new the Equalizer series rather than Queen Latifah, that would have been so much better.
This. Actually. Looks. Good.
The music gotta go, if it was a different instrumental it would have made a big difference but taraji is my fav actress sooo ❤🔥
I mean the song is called proud Mary. & so is the movie & if you know the actual meaning of the song you'll probably change your mind.
Nicolas Mendez I'm going to assume that person is a baby, NO WAY ANYONE would say this about MS. TINA TURNER
I guess you only know, "Beyonce." 🤣🤣 Tina Turner is the real Diva.
Oooo Now we know you ain’t talking about our Queen Miss Tina, child!
I love Danny Glover's Predator 2 reference during the dinner party scene when Glover's character interviewed the kid. XD
This was a very good film, I was greatly entertained watching it, as an ordinary person who just wants to be entertained and interested. I liked the way it blended the principle of MOTHER with and against the background of the activities of gangsters. There's a great LAST bit and LAST line in it , (made me laugh) but I won't give it away. I remember that actress in Person of Interest (a great series) ; there's something about her (is it her face or her voice? not sure) that always for some reason makes me think of those old great female singers of the 70s, like Aretha Franklin and Gladys knight and so on. Even though she's got a very complicated name, I surprise myself by actually REMEMBERING how to say it!....Taraji P Henson
Amazing to a have a Female, Black Lead! Thanks, God 🙏🏼
Good for Henson. She's underrated
Omg so here for this black female empowerment ! Finally something different !!
Finally watching this. I didn't know Nate from HTGAWM and Damien Dhark were in this.
Am I simple minded because when I watch a movie trailer I want to get a gist of what the movie is about and not just watch an action montage!?!
It's already a day one for me to see this movie!!
Can't wait to see badass Taraji!!!!!
Editing for this trailer is stellar
I will def be going to see this!!! I feel like watching her in Smoking Aces now!
If you like unrealistic action movies then this would be prefect to watch. Had so much potential
From the preview Henson seems perfect for this role (unlike some movie just trying to capitalize$$$ on feminism to force a fighting female lead regardless of them not even being an ounce believable...ahem,Atomic Blond seems like its going to be a. Atomic Bomb @ the box office) AND Billy Brown to top!!! Definitely seeing this in the theater!!!
Actually Atomic Blonde is based on graphic novel. It has nothing to do with feminism. And it wasn’t a box office bomb.
You know a trailer fails to do its job when the description under it does a better job of conveying what the movie is actually about.
Love this actress
I love Taraji in this you go girl. This movie look like all action.
Yassss Taraji and Nate from HTGAWM!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Pretty slick trailer, love when they cut the action(not just the shots) to the music. Was hoping the movie was feel a little more blaxpliotationy, and it still might, but the trailer doesn't instill confidence.
Yes yes yes yes and yes.🙌
I am glad to see R-rated straight up action movies making a comeback.
Did anyone else who saw the movie feel like something was missing?
Demetria Jones yea I felt as if the intro should have been more detailed and the ending should have showed her and Danny's life after.. but overall pretty good movie
"My songs are special to me. Precious. So it irks me when people seek to capitalize on the popularity of my music and the good will it has earned with the public for their own financial gain. Over the years, I have often found myself directly opposed to these uses. This movie has nothing to do with me, or my song. They simply picked the title and wrote a completely fictitious story around it... The movie poster has my lyrics changed to read… 'killing for the Man every night and day.''... I wrote the song about a mythical riverboat, cruising on a mythical river, in a mythical time. Perhaps, the setting was 'back in time' on the Mississippi River. It was obviously a metaphor about leaving painful, stressful things behind for a more tranquil and meaningful life. Far from a story about killing people for money." -John Fogerty, writer of the song "Proud Mary," to Rolling Stone.
They should have a proud marry, atomic blonde, john wick cross over!
The epic versions of "Transporter", "Atomic Blonde", and "Salt", the gorgeous assassin gets a A+ for style of weapons, clothes, parenting, and fighting skills. Epic 👍👍👍😃😃😃💓💓💓
Did they purposely make this look horrible so they can say we told ya.....no one wants to see a black female lead action movie???!! Now I have to force myself to see this crap just to support the cause
Billy Wintergreen stfu!!!! That's the dumbest thing I've heard. This is completely false. It's the cast & the ppl behind camera that make the difference so no it's false. Black Panther is gonna change all that. I can't wait!!!
EverythingImani I agree. I think it will be liberating to see a black women in her power being able to protect herself. I would go see this!
Yeah because Hidden Figures and Girls Trip is proof NO ONE wants to see black female leads. STFU. You sound stupid.
White dude checking in here... The movie looks like a pretty good action flick on its own, with an absolutely STELLAR actress leading the movie. Truth be told, Im gonna be in theaters because I've loved everything I've seen Taraji Henson in, and the trailer looked like one of those 90's action movies that is just over the top and a full on thrill from start to finish. I can't wait!
Billy Wintergreen Because the color of someone's skin is COMPLETELY irrelevant when it comes to any set of skills. (Blending in as a local in Glasgow being one of the only things they can't do). I like action movies, I'm an IT nut, so I loved hidden figures, and she was awesome in the movie. So yeah, I'm gonna go see it.
Seen this trailer before but not the movie. Despite the R rating the storyline is very good and inspiring. Mary acts as a fighter/protector for a young boy. Awesome 👌.
I'm a long time fan of Ms. Hanson and the movie might turn out to be awesome; however, this trailer is uninformative, cliché and does nothing to sell the product.
your right the under rated it with the trailer, cause its actually a great film
I don't usually watch these type of movies but was flipping through the channels & saw her & continued watching until the end!! Now Tyler Perry needs to get her, the lady from "Colombinia" & Jada Pinkett Smith or Queen Latifah in an new Charlie's Angel version or something!! Or maybe it's already out there!!
They need a proud Mary 2 this is the stufffff
I'm down to see anything with taraji in it
Went and saw it. It wasn't too bad If you take the movie Wanted and synopsis for the anime Witchblade and you make all the main characters black and BAM! You have Proud Mary.
You go Ms Henson!!! What a cool movie!!!please keep making movies like this Love ❤️ love 💕 this movie!!! You can take your children to see it without covering there eyes or ears most like other movies where there’s So much cussing and sex scenes it’s pathetic!! Love u girl!!!
Yass Lawd!!! This looks so good, I will be seeing this, let's get it!!!
I think they came up with the name for this movie when they where high as F**k.
I really enjoyed this,, Well done Queen T,, you nailed it 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
This looks like a reimagining of blaxploitation film... I'm in.
Im such a fan of Taraji!!!!!!! Will be seeing it ...
The trailer could have been a lot better, but I'm still going to watch it .
Is this forreal?
Taraji is perfect for this. Love her.
Proud Mary, is well overdue. I'm the day we had Cleopatra Jones, and a TV series, Get Christy Love. 2018!
Detective Carter is a cat with 9 lives xD so glad to see her play John Reese's Role for once
Is this a Smokin Aces spinoff?
IM SO HERE FOR THIS!
Taraji = The only reason I will be watching this movie!
and she did the industry proud
Omg ikr
Me too! She is an awesome actress!🥰🥰🥰
