Protector Ratings & Reviews
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
A film that begins like Taken, then becomes First Blood, tries to be John Wick only to mind-shift into another noteworthy film that will have you smacking your own head.
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
If you are a fan of the genre, as long as the film did not look like dog shit like "A Working Man" (2025), then only action and empty violence with a veneer of meaning are required, and it checks those boxes.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Protector is a substandard vigilante flick about a military veteran who goes on a killing rampage to rescue her 16-year-old daughter from sex traffickers. A nonsensical reveal toward the end makes this mindless movie even worse.
Geek Vibes Nation
Phil Walsh
Powerful and riveting, I guarantee the movie will hit people with all the feels, which is surprising for an action thriller, but the story never dips in its emotional intensity.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
this is as generic as it gets
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Pretending to be a gritty examination of the horrors of human trafficking, this lackluster crime thriller instead just uses that backdrop for some assembly-line vigilante justice.
AV Club
Jacob Oller
Milla Jovovich snarls, stabs, and dual-wields her way through this grim copy of a copy, breaking the glass ceiling of who can star in one of these bloodthirsty parental nightmare-fantasies.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
Dragged down by over-explanatory dialogue and tired narrative tropes, 'Protector' brings nothing new to the table-except maybe for a confounding 11th hour twist that I won't spoil that defies reasoning and frankly, good taste.
Screen Rant
Grant Hermanns
But while it has a mix of fresh and familiar concepts, Protector ultimately still feels too routine to stand out from the crowd.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"Protector" is harsh at times, but also exceedingly ridiculous overall, and while dumbness isn't always a problem when it comes to the highlights of B-movie entertainment, it definitely doesn't help this loony offering.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Protector doesn't even come across as a finished movie.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A lean, action-packed and gritty crime thriller that's also uninspired, tedious, clunky and increasingly preposterous.
KKFI-FM (Kansas City)
Russ Simmons
Protect your wallet and skip "Protector."
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
An absolute disaster of an action movie, one that's so derivative while missing every aspect of why action movies like this might work.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Makes you want to unbolt the seats from the theater floor and throw them through the screen.
Auteurist Class (Substack)
Peter Sobczynski
Even taken simply as a excuse to watch Jovovich kick ass for 90 minutes, it comes up short
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
Protector is a solid enough action drama, with Jojovich delivering on the emotional payoffs, that it's worth checking out for her fans and of the genre.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
Protector, directed by Adrian Grunberg, doesn't have the finesse of that Liam Neeson movie, but it does have Milla Jovovich, who breathes life into this brooding, occasionally stiff revenge thriller.
Collider
Robert Taylor
Protector ends up feeling too generic for most of its runtime before becoming baffling when it attempts to catch the viewer off guard in its closing scenes.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
I'm not sure if movies like this are made to eventually be taken as a tax write off, as a contractual obligation or on a dare. What I do know is that "Protector" is a waste of time, money and talent.
