It doesn't hit UK/ROI cinemas until next February, but a trailer and poster have emerged for director Babak Najafi's blaxploitation infused thriller Proud Mary.
In what sounds like a gender reversed riff on Luc Besson's Leon, Taraji P Henson plays a professional killer straddled with a young boy after a botched hit.
The official synopsis reads:
Taraji P. Henson is Mary, a hit woman working for an organized crime family in Boston, whose life is completely turned around when she meets a young boy whose path she crosses when a professional hit goes bad.
