Movie Reviews
“It’s a straightforward genre picture, directed with the trademark sleek clarity of Martin Campbell (…) The Protégé is also a belated Hollywood star vehicle for Maggie Q and her no-nonsense charisma” Jesse Hassenger: AV Club
“The film’s bright spot is Q, who has really become a capable, confident, sexy action star. I can’t wait to see her in another action movie that is not this one (…) Rating: ?? (out of 4)” Johnny Oleksinski: New York Post
“Like Anna herself, the film is polished and watchable, with a satisfying third-act twist (..) The screenplay by Richard Weck is sharp and surprisingly intelligent (…) Rating: ??½ (out of 4)” Michael O’Sullivan: The Washington Post
