The Review: The Protege


The Protege 2/10


This film should have been awesome considering who was in it. But between the shoddy camera work, writing, plot twists, and directing this didn't stand a chance. I randomly decided to watch this because of the cast thinking that it would at least be a fun one to watch. I was wrong. Like, goofy wrong. This dude named Moody finds a room full of dead dudes he was supposed to kill and a little girl did it. He takes her under his wing and she is a assassin now. Moody gets “killed” and she looks for revenge and finds out he ain't dead and they go to kill someone. I'm still not exactly sure why she wants to kill him but she is sidetracked trying to kill two other dudes. Its fucking weird and confusing. The lady, Anna, who is the assassin gets shot and hurt so many times but a shower is like a reset for her and her injuries only affect her enough to have someone catch up to her. Everyone double crosses each other. The ending is ridiculous and became one of those times where I wondered how this trained killer managed to stay alive so long based on what I saw.
